Dungate Academy Magnet

The Kid Who Would Be King is a 2019 fantasy adventure film written and directed by Joe Cornish. A British/American venture, the film stars Louis Ashbourne Serkis, Tom Taylor, Dean Chaumoo, Rhianna Doris, Angus Imrie, Rebecca Ferguson, and Patrick Stewart. The plot follows a young boy who finds King Arthur's legendary sword Excalibur, and must then use it to stop an ancient enchantress from destroying the world. Dungate is a big old standard state school, a factory for young people, very keen on trying to turn them out as good citizens with decent exam results. It starts the film as your average young-adult factory, and ends the film as a contemporary version of a medieval fortress.
