* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: The Sisters of Dorley are almost all in relationships, often with each other, and none of these relationships seem to be very chaste. At one point a character even mentions that the 2nd year is basically a giant polycule who manage to have sex so loudly that they're getting past the soundproofing.

* SwitchingPOV: For the first chunk of the story, the POV switches back and forth between Stef and Christine. As the story progresses more and more characters get POV sections, to the point where people who have never been to Dorley are getting POV chapters.

* RealMenEatMeat: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] a fair bit. The boys are fed an entirely vegetarian diet early in the programme, with meat reintroduced later as an incentive for good behavior. Later on, played completely straight, and used as an incentive to try to coax good behaviour out of Ollie. [[spoiler: It doesn't work]]. Will surmises, probably correctly, that it is used because food, along with fighting and sex, are some of the only pleasures that men are allowed to have and still remain "manly".
