** Behind The Scenes: During the production of series 4 in 2019, Mildred's promotion to Head Girl at assembly was the last scene filmed for the series. There were many emotional heartwarming outcomes when the scene was filmed.

** Netflix and CBBC actually liked the friendship between the two so much, that they had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwBnG0uMqas behind-the-scenes featurette featuring the dynamic duo]]. The highlight was the question, "Who are your closest friends in the cast?" Guess what the answer is.

** During their appearance on Saturday Mashup, following Jenny's sliming at the end of the show, while Jonny and Yasmin bid the viewers farewell, Bella offers to help out Jenny by drying her with a towel, who accepts, though embarrassed. Prior to it, Bella actually felt relieved that she isn't picked to get slimed. Heck, Jenny even admitted that her character, Ethel, deserved to be slimed after treating Bella's character, Mildred, miserably on the actual show. And for the topping on the cake, just before Jenny leaves to get slimed, Bella and Jenny share a quick fist-bump. Also, the fact that the title of the video at the start with it simply saying, "Bella & Jenny", basically foreshadowed the name of the future sitcom.

** Even though it was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen cut due to time constraints, and cannot be seen on the BBC iPlayer and Netflix]], the actual final footage in the final scene, minus the post credits, was the camera panning away from the celebration, out of the window, for one last shot of Cackle's Academy and fireworks explode in the sky. [[CloseOnTitle The display ends with a firework in the shape of the show's logo]]. If it made the cut, it can be very emotional to see one last shot of the school as viewers say goodbye to Cackle's for the very last time.

** The Netflix version of the closing announcement was also a great sendoff to the show as well.
---> '''Announcer:''' Well, that's our show, witches and wizards, a happy ending to this year's head girl competition! On behalf of all of us at Cackle's Academy and [[Creator/{{Netflix}} Netflix]], thanks for watching.
