Ofsted arrive to conduct an impromptu inspection, causing Greybridge School to be thrown into even more chaos than usual.

Not only does the inspectors' presence seriously mess with Ms Baron's enjoyment of her confiscated bag of marijuana, it also spreads panic throughout the teaching staff as they worry about their futures.

Cheating at basketball, word association, fiendishly tight costumes and lots and lots of bribery - when it comes to hanging onto their jobs, there's nothing the Greybridge staff won't resort to.
