But it\u2019s not over until the last school bell rings and there\u2019s still plenty of time before the sun breaks on the summer holidays\u2026\u201d<\/p> The adults in the series are caught up in just as much chaos too. \u201cMartin (Rob James-Collier) finds his role as Head under the spotlight as Ken (George Potts) \u2013 true to form \u2013 continues to be a raging pain in the proverbial. Things get trickier still for Martin when Asma (Laila Zaidi), Ackley\u2019s new hotshot teacher joins the staff to immediately ruffle some feathers,\u201d the broadcaster says.<\/p>\n \u201cKaneez (Sunetra Sarker) is back at the beating heart of the school and is presented with her biggest challenge yet, in the form of new boy Kyle. Sue (Charlie Hardwick) does her best to impress Ken which could lead to a change in career.\u201d<\/p>\n Ackley Bridge is available to stream on All4.
