CBBC‘s Rule the School is a modern role-reversal, reality TV show for teenagers. The basis of the show was to take five talented school pupils and 10 school teachers and swap roles. The pupils became the teachers and the teachers became the pupils. The series first aired in 2002, with lessons including text-messaging, break-dancing, computer gaming, customising clothes, popstar skills and ‘funky footballing’. The series was nominated for a BAFTA in 2003 when lessons included dance, rap and, slightly more conventionally, physical education. In 2004 the timetable included dance lessons, djing, skateboarding and fashion.

The BAFTA nominated show ended in 2005 after four seasons, with lessons including Music (taught by Nathan Crossan-Smith), Dance (taught by Jess Pearson), IT Factor (taught by Lauren Davies), Taekwondo (taught by Rene Cowan) and Web Design (taught by Ross Easton). The Headteacher was Adelaide Lumor who also appeared in the 2007 Muller commercial ‘Lid Lickers’. The show was presented by Jake Humphrey.

They had their own policies on punishments, budgets, lesson plans and even dress code.
