Welcome to Hardwicke House, the comprehensive school notorious for the riotous behaviour of its students.

However, at Hardwicke House there's also a place specially reserved for bullies, thugs, sadists and weirdos: it's called the staff room. Hard-pressed headmaster Mr Wickham is in charge of the bunch - at least in theory, if not necessarily in practice!
