In the show, five working class boys, Jack, Alfie, Jake, Ethan and Harry, are given a chance to reform their academic performance, based on the premise that an all-round education in an ethnically-diverse environment at one of the world's best schools will prove beneficial.[4] Matthew Raggett, the school's headmaster, believes the boys' lives can be turned around in six months at the school, which has the exam pass rate of 100%.[5]
