BBC One has revealed that award-winning school drama Waterloo Road will end after the tenth series.

Earlier this morning the broadcaster took to Twitter to confirm that the show, which started back in 2006, will finish next year.

They wrote: “Series 10 of #WaterlooRoad will be the final series. We’re incredibly proud of the show but believe it has reached the end of its lifecycle.

“We still have a further 20 episodes to look forward to before #WaterlooRoad finishes in 2015, and we’ll be sending the show out on a high.

“It’s important for us to make room for new drama on @BBCOne, and we are committed to commissioning new drama series for 8pm.”

During its eight-year run, Waterloo Road won Most Popular Drama at 2012’s National Television Awards and Most Popular Drama Series at last year’s Inside Soap awards.
