Grange Hill

It's the first day at a new school for the members of Form 1 Alpha. Benny is too early, Justin is lonely, Judy is scared, Trisha hates the uniform, but Tucker reckons he's got it all sewn up.

Benny's only ambition is to play in the school football team, but he discovers that talent isn't all you need to qualify.

Judy hasn't found it easy to make friends at Grange Hill, so when she finds herself threatened by the school bullies she is very much on her own.

The start of a new term brings new faces, a new headmaster and new problems, especially for Benny who is suspected of stealing.

Benny's friends are convinced that he's been stealing from them and refuse to have him in the football team.

Justin thinks he has found a champion in Andrew, but making friends can be hard work.

In spite of Mr Sutcliffe's help, the new first-year pupils are managing to settle in, but for Duane the first day ends in trouble.

Duane and Tracy have been close friends for years but when they meet new classmates and discover new interests, they begin to drift apart.

A day trip into the country nearly ends in disaster when Alan and Andrew wander off by themselves.

A wave of vandalism brings about a hard-line response from the new headmistress.

The introduction of a prefect system to combat vandalism only increases the friction that already exists between the younger and older pupils.

The approach of a compulsory medical check gives rise to some anxious moments for both older and younger pupils.

A new term at Grange Hill - and a new class of 11-year-olds try to find their way around. And for one school is as bad as he expected.

Roland's problems get worse and Gripper makes his life intolerable. But going home to mum isn't the answer.

The third year start their sex education class, but are they mature enough to cope with it ?

It's the start of a new year: Pogo is selling pens while Gripper is extracting money from the first years.

Annette tries to spoil Fay's new friendship while Jonah and Zammo go visiting and get into very deep water.

Gripper has a new target, new boy Randir, and Suzanne's becoming increasingly rebellious.

Jonah's left, but his obnoxious cousin is at Grange Hill in his place. Zammo's going out with a Brookdale girl, and it's Miss Gordon's first day.

It is only the first week of term but already Grange Hill is a hotbed of intrigue and crazes.

Jeremy causes Jackie to fall out with Zammo, Annette wears sunglasses to cover her eye makeup and Jeremy pushes his luck with his fake ticket.

The school merger puts Grange Hill in a state of confusion on the first day of term. Just what sort of pet has Calley brought to school in a cardboard box?

Who is the mysterious 'Mr. S' that Annette has been seeing? Fay, Julie and Diane are determined to find out.

Gonch has found a new source of revenue in a local skip, and Calley tries her hand at palm reading.

On his first day at Grange Hill, Ziggy asserts his authority over Imelda Davis. Ant Jones gets into an accelerated spiral of trouble with Mr. Bronson while Danny Kendall just goes back home.

Danny Kendall breaks a pipe exposing fibreglass, and Imelda takes some. Zammo tries to cheat in the moustache weighing competition - why does he need the money so badly?

Imelda gets revenge against Ziggy by putting fibreglass down his back and a small fire causes the entire lower school to be closed.

Imelda comes to school with some hair dye and a 'hit list'. The newly acquired 6th form building leaves something to be desired.

Mr. Griffiths takes Helen and Ziggy to the donkey sanctuary and lets them into a secret.

Calley and Ronnie use their secret language, Vince shows Hollo a secret room, and Mr. Griffiths prepares for 'Operation Harriet'.

Misdirecting the new first formers becomes a fun pastime for Grange Hill. A thief is targeting school property. Julia has gone, and Fred wastes no time making advances towards her best friend Laura.

Justine finds that Tegs has been up to no good, but she's in trouble herself for her fancy blouse. There's a surprise in store for Laura when she gets home.

Calley starts reading the bumps on people's heads, Georgina and Helen give each other dares, and Mrs. Reagan's keep fit class has an unseen audience.

Tegs brother comes home, Mr. Bronson's car breaks down, Danny Kendall gets off to a bad start and Clark's new paper round is beset with difficulties.

Justine meets Tegs's on-the-run brother, Vince saves Georgina with his "psychic powers" and Gonch explains his computerized Homework Service to Ziggy and Robbie.

Vince's psychic powers continue to amaze Trevor Cleaver. Subterfuge is used to get Calley to do Mauler's French homework and the police raid Tegs's house.

Jacko's dog disrupts the first day of the new school year, and the new Deputy Head imposes his discipline on Mauler and Ted.

Locko falls for one of Neil Timpson's tricks, and Tegs is still hostile towards Justine.

Mr. Hargreaves continues to drive other staff mad, Georgina gets nowhere fast with Mike Bentley, and Mrs. Monroe teaches the first formers a song in Latin.

Mr. Van Der Groot makes a good impression on Form R2. The ill-maintained heating causes the school to be filled with water, most of it landing on Mr. Hargreaves!

Trevor gets some work experience as an Estate Agent, Alice asks for "more" and Calley gets her hospital test results.

Becky and Alice use the crawlspace to spy on the staff, and start a peaceful canteen protest. Matthew sees the "Smugglers" from Richard's tree-house.

It's love at first sight for Ray when a new American teacher starts, Jacko and his mates start cleaning car windscreens, and Natalie is horrible to everyone.

Ms. Janowitz suggests the idea of a school newspaper, and Nat continues exhibit a changeable personae until it becomes evident that she is just one of a pair of twins.

The windscreen washers accidentally target Mr. Hargreaves car. He tells Mr. Robson that pupils must stay in at lunchtime, and Ray overhears and circulates a bulletin with the news.

Barry Timpson is chased round school, Ray's girlfriend (really Kenny's) impresses everyone, Techno falls out with Spanner, and Fran and Maria steal Natasha's diary.

Mr. Robson comes under pressure to allow the girls to play football. The contents of Natasha's lost diary are pinned on the notice board.

Mr. Robson and Justine collect an American teacher, Martha Jordan, from the airport. Mrs. Keele cuts up her credit card and throws away the pieces, but Anna Wright cunningly reassembles them.

Anna has fun with Mrs. Keele's credit card, Justine's good intentions come to nothing, and Jacko tells Becky about his mum's mental deterioration.

Mr. Robson's romantic aspirations have a momentary knock back at Martha's Thanksgiving dinner, Anna locks Mrs. Monroe in the toilets and Jacko sets an aim of taking his sick mum to the seaside.

On Induction Day there are some new faces. Sarah-Jane's little sister goes rampant, a new house system is introduced, and there's trouble brewing in the canteen.

Anna's brother gets her to drum up business for his drug selling. Julie takes driving lessons, but it's Robyn who the instructor is interested in.

The house system is reorganized. There's a gorillagram in school, but it is both Poppy and Mrs. Maguire's birthday.

Jessica is unwell, and boyfriend Joe seems to have lost interest. Wayne has an air pistol, and finds that Kevin is a surprisingly good shot. Wayne wants to know how good he is with a live target, so they go to an animal sanctuary...

Jessica publicly dumps Joe and then collapses. Kevin has Wayne's air-gun, but Wayne chooses the Maths lesson to ask it to be returned. As Kevin takes out the gun, Mr. Davies enters and demands to see what's in everyone's bag.

Kevin accidentally shoots Sarah-Jane with the air gun. He doesn't tell the police whose gun it really is. Jessica goes to collect the results of her blood test.

It's Human Rights Day: a metal cage occupied to represent a prisoner of conscience. Dudley's hardened steel padlock, supposedly keeping Josh's motorbike safe, makes Kevin rather more securely imprisoned than his mother would like.

Lucy meets her widowed dad's new girlfriend, but it's Dennis who makes an instant rapport with her. Sarah-Jane sees Judi's little brother steal sausages.

Dennis encounters Ray, a former Grange Hill pupil, running a local café. Judi has to cut short her school day to pick up her brothers and Josh encounters the badge from his damaged bike on someone's bag.
