<p>Jamie Oliver has recruited a team of inspirational teachers including Lord Winston, David Starkey and Alastair Campbell to turn around the lives of teens who struggled with school.</p>
<p>Other figures such as Rolf Harris, Simon Callow and Daley Thompson are taking part in the TV experiment which will form a Channel 4 documentary series next year.</p>
<p>Jamie&#8217;s Dream School aims to encourage 20 teenagers who have had difficulties at school to give education a second chance.</p>
<p>Starkey will teach history, Lord Winston is to handle science and Campbell will give politics classes.</p>
<p>Shakespearean actor Callow is to be the drama teacher, Soul II Soul chart star Jazzie B will look after music, Harris will run the art classes and Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete Daley Thompson will teach sport.</p>
<p>Oliver had difficulties of his own at school, partly due to his dyslexia, and left at 16 with two GCSEs.</p>
<p>But the chef &#8211; who has already campaigned for healthy eating and improved school dinners &#8211; wants to see if others like him can succeed if they have the right environment.</p>
<p>He advertised in the summer to find teens who had failed to thrive in school. During the seven-part series viewers will see if he can persuade the youths, from 16 to 18, to try again with their education.</p>
<p>Other experts lending their weight to the project include Cherie Blair, former poet laureate Andrew Motion, rapper Tinchy Stryder, round-the-world sailor turned environmental campaigner Ellen Macarthur, photographer Rankin and former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan.</p>
<p>The series will examine why many young people are not engaged by education and what can be done.</p>
