The flamboyant, foot-flinging Mr Flatley, loves nothing more than flipping his legs high in the air, showing off his Irish dancing skills. Fun and frantic, he is far from your average teacher, and must burn at least 3000 calories per day clip-clapping around the school building.
Twisted and terrible, these three young girls take every opportunity to tarnish other children’s reputations, and belittle and bully anyone they take a disliking to. The headteacher’s great-nieces, they think their status gives them the power to do as they please. Karma might just be about to creep up on them when they least expect it…
A kind, caring and unconventional class teacher, Miss Green genuinely cares about not only the academic achievement, but emotional wellbeing of the children she teaches. She provides a safe, soothing, serene environment for her learners, where they can take ‘time out’ from the worries of the world outside the classroom. She is loved by everyone around her, apart from ‘Bog Breath’ who she confronts and challenges almost on a daily basis.
Hideous Headmistress, ‘Bog Breath Bowman,’ roams around St. Bernadette’s Primary School, spluttering and spitting a saliva trail as she goes from her snake-like, slimy tongue. Aided by a walking stick, the hunchbacked, old-fashioned headteacher is detested by all. Ironically, the leader of the school seems to despise children and doesn’t want teaching in ‘her’ school to move into modern times.
