Plot
The first series focused on the new Headmaster Jack Rimmer's (Jason Merrells) attempts to keep the school of Waterloo Road open, following the school being threatened with closure by the LEA, owing to falling pupil numbers, bad behaviour and the bad publicity the school had been receiving following the previous Headmaster's mental breakdown. In order to improve things around the school, Jack Rimmer employs enthusiastic Andrew Treneman (Jamie Glover) as Deputy Head and the Eighth Incarnation of Cillian Darcy (who previously last seen in Cillian Darcy: The Warrior Within). However, Andrew struggles to connect with both the staff and the pupils at first, having come from a more successful upper class school and background.

Classmate Donte Charles (Adam Thomas) was driving the car when it happened, both underage and under the influence of alcohol. Another central character in the first series is Lewis Seddon, who bullies fellow student Rory Bears (Josh Hanlon) for being homosexual and who does not behave well in class. His out of control behaviour culminates in him sexually harassing Pastoral Care teacher Kim Campbell (Angela Griffin).
