A team of school staff agree to attempt a sporting challenge to raise money for Sport Relief, without having any idea what the challenge is. In this programme, Lorna Collymore, Carol Hillery and Ben Desausmarez from Kingsmead Primary School in Hackney meet Olympic wheelchair basketball champion, Ade Adepitan. He announces that their challenge is to do a circus performance in front of their students. In preparation for the big day, the staff are sent on a high ropes course where their nerves and team work skills are put to the test. Next they attend circus school where their performance skills are honed. Only once they have successfully completed this training do they attempt the Sport Relief Challenge. The big question is, do they pull it off or are they left looking like clowns?
