Second series of Jonathan Hall's comedy drama about an inner city academy school in Salford and how it coped with the pandemic in 2020. Starring Julie Hesmondhalgh.

It is mid March 2020 and the schools have closed due to Covid 19. East Salford Academy tries to cope with all the conflicting information from the government whilst dealing with confused parents. There are so many questions - Who is meant to be in school? What exactly is a key worker? How are school meal vouchers going to be distributed? The school principle Yvette Miller grapples with all these issues whilst keeping the Academy Trust and the nervous staff informed and happy.
