The new series will see Jason Manford make his debut in the series as new headteacher Steve Savage, who is sure to shake things up for both staff and students.

Steve isn’t the only new element of series 14, as there are more big changes – Waterloo Road has a new academy status and a brand-new school building to go with it.
