School of Silence is a British children's TV series which airs on CBBC. In the show, a group of noisy children in a particular area of Britain are sent to the titular "School of Silence", where they must learn to be silent. The first season was presented by Barney Harwood, and the second season by Simon Greenall.

The children have 3 classes at the school, followed by a final exam. The headmistress, Miss Gobstop, is able to monitor the noise levels using a machine named the "Gobstop 2000". In the second season the machine is upgraded, to the "Gobstop 3000". In the first season, if the students pass the final exam, they graduate and take the "Golden Gobstopper" as a prize. In the second season, they get prizes from the confiscated cupboard. If they fail, they are expelled. In the first season, the expelled students receive a whoopee cushion, while in the second they receive nothing so no consolation prize for those who fail.

The first class is with Mr. Gross. His challenges included throwing wet toilet paper at a target, and standing, barefoot, in a tub of maggots or in a slime filled boot.

In the first season, the second class is with Nora Nugget and her assistant, Britney Biscuit. In her challenge, students combine different foods, and one student is chosen to eat the final product of these combinations. In the second season, Nora and Britney are replaced by Miss Adventure, a geography teacher and explorer.

In the first season, the third class is taken by Mrs. Bunsen, whose challenges are science-based. In the second season, Miss Bunsen is replaced by Mr. Les Prance, a performing arts teacher.

In the first season, the Final Exam is supervised by Colonel Kittens. The children are put in stocks, barefooted. For 1 minute, 30 seconds, the students were tickled, as the teacher made faces and used a fart machine, to try to make them laugh or scream. In the second season, Colonel Kittens was replaced by a French professor, named "The Professor", and his glove puppet assistant, Herbert.
