Jamie's Dream School is a seven-part British television documentary series made by Fresh One Productions, first aired on Channel 4. In it, Jamie Oliver enrols a group of teenagers with fewer than five GCSEs into his "Dream School" - a school in which lessons are taught by celebrities who are specialists in particular subjects. Both pupils and teachers gave evidence to the Education Select Committee in June 2011.
The lessons from the show are available through a dedicated YouTube channel, which featurs David Starkey's history course and Simon Callow's drama lessons.
An empty building was converted into a school for two months. In the grounds a biosphere was constructed for lessons on the environment.
A South African and an American adaptation were aired in late 2013. A Dutch version will be produced by public broadcaster Omroep NTR featuring Maarten van Rossem, Karin Bloemen and Peter R. de Vries.
