It is the first day at Grange Hill comprehensive for a group of new first years. Most of the focus is on Benny, Judy, Tucker, Trisha, Justin and Ann (who sleeps in). The first years go to the assembly hall to be allocated classes. Tucker immediately gets on the wrong side of Foster by flicking a rubber band at Trisha.Benny, Judy, Trisha and Justin are all allocated to One Alpha, with Mitchell as their form master. He immediately spots Benny's lack of school uniform. This is because his father fell off a crane and injured his back and is unemployed and cannot afford to buy a uniform for him. Tucker's name is absent from the register and he goes with Monroe to find out what class he should be in. Ann turns up late and is given wrong directions by a group of older girls.
