The Bad Education Movie

Alfie and his class embark on a school trip to Amsterdam, where Mitchell spikes Alfie's crepe with magic mushrooms. The drug-induced hallucination sends Alfie into a vivid, unruly sequence inside the Anne Frank Museum, where he fixates on Jing Hua and mistakes a life-size Anne Frank dummy for a real person. In the chaos, he steals the dummy and tumbles into a canal, and a cut-scene shows Anne Frank pointing at him and saying 'home'.

One year later, Alfie schemes to take his class to Las Vegas, triggering a fierce protest from the parent–teacher association. The mounting backlash forces the administrators to respond and sets the stage for a desperate plan to prove Alfie can still teach. The PTA backlash underscores the high-stakes political pressure around Alfie’s adventures.

To placate the parents, Deputy Head and Alfie’s father Martin Wickers, headmaster Shaquille Fraser, and teacher Rosie Gulliver organize a surprise visit to his classroom. They want to demonstrate that Alfie can maintain order and effectively teach under normal conditions. The gesture is meant to restore confidence in his leadership.

To calm the parents, Alfie fabricates a Cornwall itinerary and fabricates Atticus Hoye hosting a house party in Cornwall. Susan Poulter accompanies the group and helps carry out the ruse. They stage a pretend Eden Project stop to further mislead the parents.

At the Eden Project, the group pretends to visit, then moves to a park where Alfie is forced to zip-wire across the site with his trousers around his ankles. Mitchell slips a plant he calls 'nature’s laxative' into Susan’s drinks, triggering a cascade of mischievous mishaps. The incident marks a turning point as the deception spirals out of control.

The Cornwall leg leads to Penleven Castle, where they glimpse John the Baptist’s foreskin, a bizarre relic. Susan leaves the group to use the toilet, leaving Alfie and the others unattended. Mitchell fails to steal the foreskin, and Alfie retrieves it and swallows it to cover their tracks.

The group arrives in Port Jago, where the barman and Pasco Trevelyan discuss the Cornish Liberation Army (CLA) and Pasco quietly supports the cause. Pasco recruits Alfie into the rebellion, and Alfie learns that Atticus Hoye is hosting a nearby party. Tangles begin as loyalty and mischief collide.

Susan follows the group from a window and records events, but Pasco slips sleeping pills into her, stuffs her into a trunk, and abandons it in Cherbourg, France. She is carried away from the group, leaving the others to proceed with Pasco’s scheme. The intelligence gap compounds the danger facing Alfie and the kids.

Pasco pulls the troupe toward a strip club and tasks Alfie with delivering cannabis to Atticus’s party the next night; unknown to Alfie, the truck is packed with explosives. The plan shift escalates the danger and pushes Alfie toward an ill-fated confrontation. The tension between loyalty and risk tightens around him.

Susan somehow makes it back to the UK with a group of illegal immigrants, adding a further international complication to the escalating chaos. Her return puts pressure on the authorities to locate the missing children and salvage the situation. The contrasting fates of characters demonstrate the wider consequences of Alfie’s adventures.

Back home, Alfie and the children reach Atticus’s party and face bullying from Alfie’s so-called friends; amid the chaos he teabags a swan to vent frustration. Pasco detonates the truck, blowing up the grounds of the Hoye residence and intensifying the crisis. The blast forces everyone to improvise under extreme pressure.

Pasco drives the children toward Port Jago and proclaims Alfie as leader of the Cornish rebellion, with CLA members revealing themselves. The police are overwhelmed by media narratives and enlist Interpol, who join Susan and the parents in the search. The situation evolves into a wider clash over Cornwall’s means of production.

Joe Poulter discovers a secret passage from Penleven Castle to the beach, allowing the children to escape. Rosie Gulliver and Fraser arrive by helicopter to rescue Alfie, and Pasco is arrested. The escape marks a turning point toward resolution.

Six weeks later, Michael Hoye resigns as Port Jago’s MP as the town reels from the chaos. On results day, Mitchell again injects magic mushrooms into Alfie’s brownies, sending him into another hallucinatory episode that ends with a peculiar Leavers Photograph. The film closes on a chaotic but comic note as Alfie’s summer becomes a blur of misadventure.
