Plot summary

Two school inspectors (Phillips and Knight) come to the school to assess the performance of the staff in controlling the children. It is a constant battle between the kids and the teachers, with some teachers like Miss Short (Jacques) favouring the 'hard-hitting' method while others such as Mr.Milton (Williams) favouring a less disciplinary approach. The pupils hear that their headmaster (Ray) is planning to apply for a new post, and they want him to stay. There is a 'blossoming romance' story thread and the kids have fun sabotaging a piano, a rocket, and a play.

Trivia

During the filming, Charles Hawtrey's mother would often visit the set. While enjoying a cigarette, she accidentally dropped lit ash from the cigarette into her handbag. Joan Sims who was the first to spot the incident yelled, "Charlie, Charlie, your mother's bag is on fire!". Charles Hawtrey poured his cup of tea into the bag, snapped it shut, and carried on chatting.
