Lloyd George junior and infants school has not fared well in a recent inspection. The scheming head is only concerned with sucking up to anyone who'll enhance his CV, and the all female staff are either too lazy, too disgruntled or too naïve to care. Suddenly a handsome new supply teacher comes on board and everyone falls over to win his attention. Shocked to find his long lost love from uni there, can he rekindle the flame? What can possibly happen in a school staffroom other than meetings, marking and making coffee?
