Further details

Modern mum Alice Chaplin moves to London with her husband David and their three young children. Alice soon falls in with uber-yummy mummy Ffion and her crowd of backstabbing, competitive friends who are all vying to get their little princesses into top private school Chelsea College.

But when Alice's daughter Molly falls behind academically and she worries that she will not pass the entrance exam, Alice resorts to extreme measures.

With help from her husband, Alice dresses up as their 11-year-old daughter and takes the entrance exam for her, while Molly does the exam at home under the guidance of her father.
