Vice-Principal Lilliana Goldstar punishes students like there's no tomorrow, and in a completely arbitrary manner to boot! Al doesn't think this is right at all, and he offers to prepare a code for the school so that everyone is bound by the same rules.

Production notes

Alastair Heath-Wilson is the son of the Secretary of State for Education. A young, well-educated teen, he chooses to snub a privileged education and mingle with the kids from his new neighborhood at Cliff Richard Jr. High, a low-rent school on the poor side of town. The series features a bunch of kids eager to remain united in spite of their (huge) differences. Alastair and his pals always try and push the system and never run out of funny ideas on how to improve their daily life, be it by suggesting a school outing, finding a way to lessen the weight of student book bags or even redrafting the school's regulations. Bearing in mind the chronic lack of money at the school, the wacky teachers, and the unrestrained behavior of the students themselves, any new idea at Cliff Richard Jr. High takes an unexpected twist! Fueled by teen concerns, ZAP Jr. High is a slapstick comedy with a pinch of nonsensical humor.

Based on the comic strip "Zap Collège," created by Téhem and Gildo. First published in Okapi magazine, then in book form by Editions Glénat.
