Synopsis:

From acclaimed director Frank Launder,'The Happiest Days of Your Life' is a precursor to the hugely successful St. Trinian's series, set in Nutbourn College, the most established and respectable of boy's schools. A military mistake billets a girls' school to share the college's premises, to the outrage of their horrified headmaster and headmistress, played with comic mastery by Alastair Sim and Margaret Rutherford. Initially the two are hostile to one another. However, with a staff of dazed, eccentric teachers and a student body of knowing and troublesome children, they are forced to pull together as the situation stumbles from the sublime to the ridiculous!

Nutbourne College, an old established, all-boys, boarding school is told that another school is to be billeted with due to wartime restrictions. The shock is that it's an all-girls school that has been sent. The two head teachers are soon battling for the upper hand with each other and the Ministry. But a crisis (or two) forces them to work together.

Chaos ensues for staff and students alike when an all-boys and an all-girls school are amalgamated into one.
