The official description for Season 4 states:
“Following the closure of Moordale Secondary, Otis (Butterfield) and Eric (Gatwa) now face a new frontier – their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College. Otis is nervous about setting up his new clinic, while Eric prays that they won't be losers anymore. But Cavendish is a culture shock for all the students at Moordale – they thought they were progressive but this new college is on another level. There's daily yoga in the communal garden, a strong sustainability vibe, and a group of kids who are appreciated for being…nice?! Viv (Ezeudu) is totally overwhelmed by the college's non-competitive, student-led approach, while Jackson (Williams-Stirling) still struggles to get over Cal. Aimee (Wood) tries something new by taking an A level in art and Adam (Swindells) wonders if mainstream education is for him. In the United States, Maeve (Mackey) lives her dream at the prestigious Wallace University, where she is taught by cult author Thomas Molloy (Levy). Otis pines for her, while adjusting to not being an only child at home, or the only therapist on campus…”
