Just goes to show how important a stable home is.

[ellenp]

Vinni is currently serving a 6 year sentence in prison for drug dealing - what a shame :/

[bellaroselavin]

I’m actually crying over this video, yes he had his problems within school, but it doesn’t help that he was put under so much pressure at home; and the fact he voluntarily went into care breaks my heart

[taz]

The fact that he seemed so calm after he went into care, just shows how messed up and stressed he was at home. I feel so sorry for him, the reason he’s in prison probably came after he had to leave care. You could tell he felt secure there

[jess]

It genuinely hurts my heart to hear that Vinni was arrested for drug dealing... 6 years in prison :(

[maryfrancesca]

That head teacher treats vinny like his own son it’s really precious

[kindalikery]

Genuinely mr goddard has a heart of gold. Never seen anyone care more about the kids in his school than him

[thelovelyballetgirl]

He is so broken, he felt safe enough to go to school to tell them that something happened. This school went above and beyond for this young man.

[ameliarussell]

I bet he’s sick of hearing his own name 😂 “VINNEYYY”

[lexiburns]

Literally just searched up where is Vinni now and I’ve found out he’s in jail for 6 years for drug dealing 😔

[ecb]

That's a head teacher that truly cares

[connie]

That part when the teacher cried and was trying to pull himself together really broke my heart😨.

[supercutlorde]

As much as I think Vinni should be helped the teachers probably don’t know half of the quiet kids names because they give so much attention to one person

[ded.]

I think that girl that got kicked out of IT has a crush on Vinny and is trying to relate or act cool in front of him so he thinks better of her tbh

[Lxia_-lmpe]

Is it just me that finds Vinni is bloody fit

[jessicalouisedean]

Okay Charlotte we understand you have a crush of Vinnie

[JEUndisputed]

It's so sad to hear that Vinni went to prison he didn't seemed like a bad lad, just lost after his parents divorce. He had so much charisma and potential, I hope when he is released he will find his way again and be able to be the best person he can be

[ethanoreilly]

Separations always damage kids, some more so than others. Vinni is very broken and you can see it in him. Real shame

[leahmaryjean]

The UK need more head teachers like this 🙌🏼 what a wonderful man.

[gracedrew]

Anyone think the headteacher and the deputy head look really similar?
