Local teenager, Michael Petkov, will be going back in time to receive a 1950's education.

Michael, who used to be a pupil at Southfield Primary School, will be appearing on Channel 4's That'll Teach 'Em - Boys vs Girl which starts on Tuesday 4th April at 9.00pm.  The programme will run for the next five weeks.

Every year pupils appear to sail through their GCSEs, fuelling yet another heated debate about falling education standards.

This Channel 4 series tackled this thorny issue by putting 30 16 year olds through the tough regime of a re-creation of a 1950s state grammar boarding school and the academic rigour of O-levels.
