Which is a lot in TV terms. In fact, you could binge on every episode of The Simpsons, Friends, classic Doctor Who, new Doctor Who and then Friends again and you’d still have watched less than half the length of footage the Educating Greater Manchester team produced. That 83 days’ worth of material was thanks to the 60 cameras rigged around the sch...
The crew may have only filmed in three-month chunks over the course of an academic year, but even then they had to be sparing with the recording button. “Working with 60 cameras across just one school day would result in 420 hours of footage in one day. It would take over 17 just to watch,” explains Smith, who should receive an A* for mental arithm...
It’s simple really: to squeeze 2,000 hours into a 400-minute series, a lot of narratives had to be dropped – some easier than others. “There’s lots of things we follow and it doesn’t pay off as issues can resolve themselves really quickly,” says Smith. “And then there are stories that we have to ask whether it fits into an episodic theme.

It wasn’t just the governors or headteacher who decided to open the school to the national media. After TwoFour – the production company behind the series – contacted Harrop Fold, Povey put the choice to the students in an assembly. After what the headteacher describes as some “very mature debate”, each of the 890 students undertook an anonymous vo...
After Harrop Fold voted to let in the cameras, it took over six months before they were actually rigged up. For the first half year, the crew spent becoming accustomed to the school – and made sure everyone was comfortable with them. “In that pre-production period, we dedicated time to make sure everyone – pupils, teachers and parents – were happy ...
And while that’s normal practice for TV, it’s not normal to gather 700 forms and permission slips from one school – it was a lot of homework for the crew before filming. “It was a massive admin beast!” recollects Smith. “The last thing we want to do is send out a programme where everyone’s face is blurred because we weren’t able to track them down....
