The Worst Witch
This charming CBBC/Netflix fantasy follows clumsy, warm-hearted Mildred Hubble through four seasons at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, covering her whole school journey from nervous first-year to confident graduate. This report covers the full series (Seasons 1–4, 2017–2020), which stays consistently gentle and kid-friendly throughout.
Great for kids who love magical boarding-school adventures and are ready for a little low-stakes suspense and friendship drama.
Episodes to know about
Agatha Cackle, the headmistress's villainous twin sister, is introduced as the season-long antagonist; she threatens and manipulates students and staff across Season 1, building to a confrontation in the finale.
Season 1 finale: Agatha takes control of the school and Mildred must act to stop her; the most sustained tense sequence of the season, though fully resolved.
Ethel Hallow bullies Mildred in most episodes across all four seasons, using tricks, put-downs, and social exclusion; the show consistently frames Ethel's behavior as wrong.
