Mycroft Holmes runs the school. This is known.
Of course, he isn’t actually in charge, he occupies a minor position on the board of governors. In the mean time he is a mild mannered civil servant, in much the same way that Lex Luthor was a mild mannered multi-millionnaire.
He comes by once a week to check on things (mostly his younger brother) and smile at the headmistress in an entirely pleasant and non threatening manner.
He occasionally runs into a staff member, quite by accident, and inquires politely into their health, his brother’s health and the performance of their students in the latest exam sessions. If appropriate, he might also mention the last Ofsted report.
And in this way, Baker Street School ticks on like a well maintained watch, with ever gear in place.
He makes sure that it never misses a second.
And occasionally he pops into the Food Technology (or perhaps Home Economics, those terms change so frequently he can hardly keep track) and Mrs Hudson, who has been around long enough to remember when it was quite alright to call her subject ‘cooking’ and it was expected that boys would take ‘woodwork’ instead, gives him a cookie - though never one of the students’.
His assistant meets him at the gate and he goes back to running the world...
Not that he does, of course, he is merely a public servant.
And if you believe that then you’ll believe anything.

No one messes around in Mr Watson’s class. He is one of those teachers you never even try with. If you behave then he is one of the best teachers you’ll ever know, patient, steady and with a habit of springing really bizarre experiments on you. If you cause trouble then...
It’s better to just leave that unsaid.
Mr Holmes, is similar, in a very different way. He’s the sort of teacher you either love or you hate, but you never make him angry.
Most people hate him.
“2 out of 20? But I practically quoted the textbook.”
“I can’t believe he poured that all over Jamie’s hand. It’s still bright blue... and he says it burns when he tries to wash it off.”
“Definitely the fittest teacher in the school, hands down... although Mr Lestrade’s quite-“

“Ew, he’s old.”
“Mature.”
“Still gross! It’s like fancying your Dad.”
