The long-running, award-winning drama series follows the day-to-day activity at Waterloo Road school, where lessons learned, it seems, have a way of extending beyond the classroom. Initially set at a rundown comprehensive school in Rochdale, England, before moving to an independent school in Greenock, Scotland, the drama revolves around the never-dull lives of the school's teachers and students, and its story lines address many attention-grabbing social issues such as sex, abortion, divorce, child abuse and suicide.
