Waterloo Road (TV Series) - Setting

Setting

The series is set in and around Waterloo Road, a fictional school for students aged 11 to 18, a comprehensive in Rochdale in series 1 to 7 and a former secondary school in Scotland thereafter. At the opening of the series, the school was notorious for being "on the scrapheap" with poorly behaved students and poor-quality teachers, but each head has tried to prove the school better than its reputation and it has passed multiple inspections to stay open across the years.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:

    it is finally as though that thing of monstrous interest
    were happening in the sky
    but the sun is setting and prevents you from seeing it
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The setting was really perfect for a brisk bubbling murder....
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Love is at the root of all healthy discipline. The desire to be loved is a powerful motivation for children to behave in ways that give their parents pleasure rather than displeasure. it may even be our own long-ago fear of losing our parents’ love that now sometimes makes us uneasy about setting and maintaining limits. We’re afraid we’ll lose the love of our children when we don’t let them have their way.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)
