September 2020. After six months of lockdown, Callum, Kara, Sade, Aaminah, Jack and Grace return to Link Academy, Dudley, with mock exams just around the corner.

Sade turns a corner as 'Learner of the Week'. But as the Christmas holidays approach, the Year 11s grow anxious - with GCSE exams cancelled and the country heading back into lockdown.

It's the final term for the Year 11s. Jack, Callum and Grace juggle studying, applications and anxieties about the pandemic's impact on their future.

It's the final fortnight. Callum turns 16 and gets a talk from his dad about the 'birds and the bees'. Sade lets her hair down at a party. And Aaminah gives a speech.
