## Website

**Joe McCready** was a student at King's School on Series 1 of That'll Teach 'Em.

## Personality

Much like Nic Hall, within a day of being at King's School, Joe managed to get on the wrong side of his first teacher, Mr. Vince. From then on, Joe appeared to be at fault for everything that went wrong within Kings.

During the show, he was shamelessly disrespectful, and intensely hated every teacher especially Mr. MacTavish and Mr. Perry, breaking rules at every turn. Despite this, he was fun for the other students to be around, and seemingly provided a laugh to everyone who got to know him. He had to particular hatred towards Dr. Pidoux and even sexually insulted her.

## Trivia

* Joe was the only student to be expelled from King's School in two and a half weeks through the experience, much to the disappointment of many. Overall, he was the second of 2 students to leave King’s, the first being Nadia Freeman.
