!The Boys
[[folder:Dakin]]
!!Dakin
!!! Actor: Dominic Cooper
Dakin is the most confident and handsome boy in his class.

* HotForTeacher: For Irwin.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Irwin
-->'''Dakin:''' Why are you so bold in argument and talking but when it comes to the point, when it’s something that’s actually happening, I mean now, you’re so fucking careful?
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Posner]]
!! Posner
!!! Actor: Samuel Barnett
Posner is a Jewish boy of small stature and the youngest student in his sixth-form class.
!! Tropes:
* BittersweetEnding: In the film. In the play his ending is just depressing.
* Gayngst:
-->I’m a Jew. I’m small. I’m homosexual. And I live in Sheffield. I’m fucked.
* IAmSong: Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered
* JewishAndNerdy: He is both.
* KickTheDog: He’s playfully mocked several times, particularly by Lockwood.
* LoveMartyr: Dakin finds Posner’s crush on him to be annoying at best, but Posner carries on pining nonetheless.
* TeachersPet:
-->'''Akthar:''' It’s just the knowledge, sir.\\
'''Timms:''' The pursuit of it for its own sake, sir.\\
''' Posner:''' Not useful, sir. Not like your lessons.

!!Scripps
!!! Actor: Jamie Parker
Scripps is an Anglican student and the most religious boy in his class.
!! Tropes:
* AmbiguouslyBi:
-->'''Scripps:''' Just because you’ve got a scholarship doesn’t mean you’ve got to give him unfettered access to your dick.\\
'''Dakin:''' So how would you say thank you?\\
'''Scripps:''' Same as you, probably. On my knees.
* AmbiguouslyChristian: Subverted. Scripps is the only character who is outwardly Christian.
* DeadpanSnarker: Everyone tends to be somewhat snarky, but Scripps stands out as being exceptionally dry, especially in response to Dakins love life.
* NostalgicNarrator: Scripps is the main narrator of the story, and he tends to speak about events in the past tense as they’re unfolding.
* ThePianoPlayer: Subverted. While he does accompany Posner on piano several times, he does more than just that.
* VowOfCelibacy:
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rudge]]
!!Rudge
!!! Actor: Russell Tovey
Rudge comes from a working-class background and struggles in school; none of his teachers expect him to get into Oxbridge.
!! Tropes:
* DumbJock: Rudge isn’t necessarily dumb, he just isn’t as smart as his ridiculously clever classmates.
-->You may think it’s a joke, but golf makes the same sense to me as architecture or films do to you. You may not rate it but it’s an accomplishment. I may not know much about Jean-Paul Sartre, but I’ve got a handicap of four.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Timms]]
!!Timms
!!! Actor: James Corden
Timms is overweight and plays the role of the class clown.
!! Tropes:
* FatComicRelief: Timms’ main role in the play is as comic relief.
* StonersAreFunny:
-->'''Irwin:''' It’s your eyesight that’s bad and we all know what that’s caused by.\\
'''Timms:''' Sir! Is that a coded reference to the mythical dangers of self-abuse?\\
'''Irwin:''' Possibly. It might even be a joke!

[[/folder]]
!The Staff
[[folder:Hector]]

The eccentric General Studies teacher who believes that exam preparation is the enemy of education.
!! Tropes:
* ArmouredClosetGay: Is an extremely closeted gay man, to the extent that he’s married to a woman.
* BigShutUp:
--> WILL YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THESE EXAMS!
* CoolTeacher: Deconstructed. He’s the “cool teacher” but he also gropes his pupils and is a “bit of a shambles”.
* FiredTeacher: Hector isn’t quite fired, but he is pressured to resign until Dakin gets him his job back by blackmailing Felix.
* HotForStudent: Generally.
* KilledOffscreen: The aftermath of the accident that kills Hector is shown, as is his funeral, but we never actually see a body.

!!! Actor: Stephen Campbell Moore
The young and savvy supply teacher whom the Headmaster brings in to prepare the boys for their Oxbridge entrance exams.
!! Tropes:

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mrs Lintott]]
!!Mrs Lintott
!!! Actor: Frances de la Tour
Mrs. Dorothy Lintott is the history teacher who has quietly and steadily been teaching the boys everything they need to know to excel academically.
!! Tropes:
* BetterThanSex: She states to Hector that prefers her first pizza to losing her virginity.
* MotiveRant: Non-criminal, but an example nonetheless.
-->History’s not such a frolic for women as it is for men. Why should it be? They never get round the conference table.
* OnlySaneMan: In between Hector fondling the boys, Irwin pining after Dakin, and Felix being an overall imbecile, Lintott comes across as stark raving sane.
* SternTeacher: Deconstructed. She’s stern, but she’s kind and clearly cares first and foremost about the boys education.
* WhatTheHellHero: Brief but to-the-point.
-->Hector, a grope is a grope. It is not the Annunciation.
[[/folder]]

* HateSink: Universally disliked by staff and students alike.
