What happens

Educating Greater Manchester 2 is the 6th series of the BAFTA award-winning British documentary television programme Educating broadcast on Channel 4. The documentary follows previous installments in the Educating... series including the BAFTA Award-winning Educating Essex (2011), Educating Yorkshire (2013), Educating the East End (2014), Educating Cardiff (2015) and Educating Greater Manchester (2017). Channel 4 confirmed in January 2018 that the Educating programme was renewed for two further series. For the first time, the series would have returned to the same school for the sixth and seventh series, in Salford, after the fifth series was filmed at Harrop Fold School in Little Hulton, Salford. However, over the course of filming the sixth series, headmaster Drew Povey resigned as a result of the allegations of off-rolling students, forcing Harrop Fold School to be placed in special measures by Ofsted. Channel 4 later confirmed that these episodes would not be aired as a result of the findings. However, a condensed version of the episodes began airing from 3 November 2020. The episodes did not feature many of the series 5 cast after they refused to be seen on screen with Povey. The episodes recorded the lowest rating of the educating series, leaving production bosses upset. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
