History teacher and deputy head Mr Drew must enforce the school's rules by confiscating banned items of clothing and holding detentions. He is shown interacting with the boisterous Charlotte. He also has a history class, which he enjoys teaching and is interrupted by colleagues because of his birthday. He annoys other staff by allowing pupils to throw snowballs at one another at break time "because it makes them happy". When Camelita arrives wearing a hoodie she refuses to remove, Drew confronts her: she is excluded for swearing at him. Later, when her parents are called, she claims that he assaulted her by grabbing her shoulder; this is proven to be false when head teacher Mr Goddard checks the CCTV footage. Camelita is reprimanded by Goddard and excluded until January.
