The documentary series "Educating Cardiff," filmed at Willows High School in Cardiff, aired in 2015 and followed the school's transformation under Head Teacher Joy Ballard. It focused on students and staff as they faced various challenges and changes. Since then, the students have grown into adults leading diverse lives. Notably, Jessicca, a prominent student from the series, graduated with a first-class honors degree in computer game design and development from Cardiff Metropolitan University and has started her first job working with data for a university project. Other former students have pursued different paths including college, work, and sports such as boxing at a national level. Overall, some former students maintain connections with their past school life, while others have moved on into new phases of life with different goals and careers.

There also continues to be interest and updates about the alumni of Educating Cardiff from various social media and media sources reflecting their journeys after the show.
