The toilet flush when Susan comes out of the toilet. The audience know that this means she has just been for a "fag" then this is linked for when she brings out a packet of Polo's.
The background noise in the staff room shows that they are not in the best place to have a personal conversation.
The non-dietetic sound of the police station. Shows that he is extremely guilty.
The sound of the bell just after Simon is paniced by what he has just heard
The radio is a non dietetic sound when they mention 6 people have been arrested on a drugs raid.
The fact of the police car going through the street is ironic as Simon is preparing himself for an interveiw with the police at school that day.
The music in the background at parents evening adds to the humor.

Macro Analysis Dialogue
The broad and blunt talk about sex.
The fact that they keep swearing and in schools they teach students not to swear at school.
The fat James Corden is the only one who says " i really enjoyed that!" and he asks him if he is sarcastic this shows representation of the class.
The talk is always Gossip or conversation.
It is Scripted.
The way they speak and the words chosen shows that it fits in with the genre that this is a comedy.
Also the comparison between Jenny and Simons speech shows the lazy teacher that Simon is and how straight and on the Job also opposite to Simon.
Fills in the gaps in the plot Eg. The way Susan says at the beginning is saying how she is going to go for the head of years job when they all laugh and her and tell her that its the worst mistake she will ever make. Then Simon goes and says that he is going to go for the job so he is therefore being a hippo crate.
Simon sounds like one of the kids when he is asked a question when he reply saying "whaaaaaat?!"

Representation in the Media
By definition, all media texts are re-presentations of reality. This means that they are intentionally composed, lit, written, framed, cropped, captioned, branded, targeted and censored by their producers, and that they are entirely artificial versions of the reality we perceive around us.
Gender
the basic category we use for sorting human beings, and it is a key issue when discussing representation. Essential elements of our own identity, and the identities we assume other people to have, come from concepts of gender - what does it mean to be a boy or a girl? Many objects, not just humans, are represented by the media as being particularly masculine or feminine - particularly in advertising - and we grow up with an awareness of what constitutes 'appropriate' characteristics.
Race
Race, ethnicity and colour, like sex, comprise sets of genetically defined, biological characteristics. However, as with gender, there are also cultural elements in those defining characteristics.
Age
After gender and ethnicity, age is the most obvious category under which we file people, and there are a whole range of judgements which go along with our categorisation. We quickly deem other people too old, or too young, or criticise them for being immature or fuddy duddy. We criticise mature women for going about as mutton dressed as lamb, and young girls for tarting themselves up as jail bait. Film stars who start to show signs of aging in their forties are swooped on with cries of horror by gossip columnists.
Disabilites
Semantically, the word "disabled" causes much debate. The 'dis' suffix is a negative one, implying reversal, and disabled heads a list in the dictionary of many negative words - disappoint, discard, disconsolate, discourage, disintegrate, dismay, disrepute etc etc. That same dictionary defines the word "disabled" as meaning "Made ineffective, unfit or incapable". Quite rightly, those members of the population who find themselves labelled thus feel tarred with a distasteful brush. The word implies that they are unfit for anything, that they are incapable of effectiveness in any field.
