Unman, Wittering and Zigo - Lobby Cards (1971)

Unman, Wittering and Zigo is a 1971 British thriller about a new teacher who arrives at a school and begins to suspect his predecessor was murdered by the pupils, though his suspicions are written off as paranoia. He sets out to prove his theory and prevent the same fate from befalling himself 

Directed by John Mackenzie and starring David Hemmings.  It was adapted by Simon Raven from Giles Cooper's 1950s radio drama 

I have an idea we read the script book at school which, given the subject matter, was something of an inspired choice by our English Teacher; Mr Eaton.  I really couldn't say if I had seen the film before or after but it stayed with me and is long overdue for a revisit.

Best film Title ever?
