4 O'Clock Club

- Season 2

(2013)

Mr. Bell arrives as the new Head of Elmsbury. He has plans to shake up the school which is now to become "Elmsbury Academy". He organises a re-naming ceremony but Josh Carter has his own ideas on how to mark the occasion.

Nathan competes against PE teacher Mr Thorne to become the new Head of Year. Meanwhile Dexter Harris has arrived to assist Miss Poppy in the Music Department but is he really cut out for the world of teaching?

Nathan is about to leave on a teacher exchange but how will the students react? Mr Bell urges Dexter to get tough to prove he has a future at Elmsbury but his attempts at discipline don't have the desired effect.

Mr Bell bans the students from visiting an ice cream van outside the school but that doesn't stop Tom and Zoe-Marie from getting carried away when they sneak out. Dexter tries to get tough with the students including Agness who is not doing her homework but has he misjudged her? Mr Bell has an offer for Miss Poppy that leaves her in an awkward position.

Dexter is put in an embarrassing situation when his dad turns up at the school for a head-teachers' conference - will he discover that Dexter isn't actually an "assistant head-teacher" to Mr Bell? Dexter has also asked the members of the 4 O'Clock Club to look after "flour babies" to teach them responsibility but can they be trusted?

Mr Bell introduces a new system of rewarding good behaviour with points which can lead to prizes including a computer. Josh soon works out how to take advantage of the system while Mr Bell's idea to encourage the teachers to give out the most points leads to its own problems.

Josh gets a Valentine's card for Rachel but will his friends and his own embarrassment at his musical link-up with cousin Dexter stop him getting to go out with her? Ryan receives a surprise romantic message and unusual gift in his cello case but who has sent it?

Dexter takes the students out on a half-term field trip to the countryside but it is clear they are not used to a more basic lifestyle. He also has to cope with Mr Thorne who has his PE students on the trip and his own ideas on how things should be done. Mr Bell takes the opportunity of a student-free school to try to impress its new sponsors.

After "achieving" his tenth detention of the term Mr Bell has had enough of Josh and suspends him - unfortunately for him on the very day when a record company representative is due to visit the school as part of its careers day. Aside from Josh the students are less than enthusiastic about the careers day but Dexter appears to have secured the presence of a top employer.

Mr Bell promotes the importance of "rights and responsibilities" to improve school life but the students feel their rights are being ignored and it's all about their responsibilities.

Josh is excited after recording a new track and gets his friends to help him sell it on CDs he's taken from the school. However it's soon discovered he's used the bass-line from another track without permission and they have to get the CDs back before they get into trouble. Meanwhile Dexter is trying to impress WPC Rowe by teaching her the ukulele - but first he has to learn to play it himself.

Dexter confiscates the mobile phones of students in detention and in retaliation Josh locks him out of the room when he goes out for a moment. While the pair of them try to sort things out a number of incidents involving the members of the 4 O'Clock Club are remembered.

Mr Bell asks Dexter to present his plans for "Project Zenith" to renovate the school. What he doesn't tell Dexter is that it will involve demolishing the building holding the 4 O'Clock Club, putting luxury apartments in its place, and sending its members to Fowlmere, the worst school in the area. How can Dexter save his reputation and the members of the 4 O'Clock Club?
