Jamie Glover, who plays the former deputy head and English teacher, previously said: "I am so excited to be returning to Waterloo Road. The school has been such an important part of my life and it’s wonderful to be able to rekindle the old flame.

"Not to mention the joy of getting to work with the incomparable Angela Griffin once more.

"I hope that people will enjoy seeing Andrew and Kim together in the school again. Older? Certainly, there's the grey hair to prove it…! Wiser? Who knows?"

There's also a new student at the school – Myles Massey, played by Osian Morgan.

Myles is struggling with coming to terms with life back in mainstream education after being let go by a football academy, so sets about making a last impression on the school.

Also joining the show are Benidorm's Paul Bazely and Coronation Street's Jenny Platt as parents of pupils, as well as Corrie's Olwen May and James Quinn.
