High School is a three-part BBC reality TV series that centers on a year in the life at Holyrood Secondary School in Glasgow, Scotland.

Synopsis

High School is filmed at Holyrood Secondary, a Catholic school and one of the largest comprehensive High Schools in Europe with over 2000 pupils.[1][2][3] The series seeks to capture the school's ethos rather than the day-to-day minutiae, resulting in little in-class footage but highlighting crucial parts of the school year.[4] The film is narrated by actor Alec Newman, who plays the headmaster in Waterloo Road.[3]
