The show follows the lives of the teachers and the pupils at the eponymous school of Waterloo Road, a failing inner-city comprehensive, tackling a wide range of issues often seen as taboo such as bullying, alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, losing a baby, an affair between a teacher and a pupil, online abuse, knife crime and drugs.
Following the events of the series one finale, it is revealed that English teacher Lorna Dickey (Camilla Power) survived what was portrayed as a suicide attempt. Her former husband Tom Clarkson (Jason Done) and previous best friend Izzie Redpath (Jill Halfpenny) are now expecting a child together, making life in the staff room very difficult for everybody and even more so when tragedy strikes for both Tom and Izzie and Lorna, who is diagnosed with MS.
