The show follows the trials and tribulations of a new school principal, the first "outsider" to be appointed in the school's history. He's been tasked with whipping the school into shape for the upcoming nativity play but he faces problems in the form of a disruptive teacher and a school secretary who has a crush on him.
RTÉ Head of Comedy, Music and Talent Development, Eddie Doyle said: "The School is a very funny, family-friendly comedy and it is great that as broad an audience as possible will be able to access it both online and on television."
