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.
