Collingwood's is a small but expensive private school for girls located in the south of England. The glamorous Pamela Jameson is appointed as Deputy Head, and very quickly establishes a reputation as a firm but strict disciplinarian. The sixth form girls at this exclusive school get up to all manner of things including midnight feasts, fights and fallings out, secret assignations with boys, and other infractions. No misdemeanour goes unpunished however, and the staff have their hands full administering the appropriate discipline with the aid of slippers, paddles or canes. The regime can't be bad though because many of the pupils return to Collingwood's after university - as teachers!
