THE latest episode of Educating Yorkshire focuses on the students in Year 9, a critical academic turning point as they choose their options for their GCSEs.

Headteacher Mr Mitchell can only hope that the majority of Thornhill’s students do some much-needed growing up, but it is also the year with the worst behaviour record in the school.

As pastoral leader, head of year Mr Moses is the one to guide his students through all the upcoming adolescent pressures – it is his job to keep them all on the straight and narrow.
