The documentary exploring day-to-day life at Willows High School in Cardiff concludes as the performing arts department prepares to stage a farewell concert. Auditions for the big show are well under way, and energetic pupil Coral is quick to sign up to sing. However, she is easily distracted in class, and her behaviour is worsening, and these issues hint at a bigger problem that may mean she is not yet ready for a solo performance in front of a 200-strong audience. Meanwhile, the women of the well-being and attendance office worry that Sean, a year 8 pupil with cerebral palsy, is relying a little too much on the safety and comfort of the Lunch Club, which offers pupils an alternative break spot to the rowdy canteen. Seeking to bring Sean out of his shell, the ladies decide the school cabaret might be the perfect opportunity to improve the youngster's confidence.
