School for Randle is a 1949 British comedy film directed by John E. Blakeley and starring Frank Randle, Dan Young and Alec Pleon. The screenplay concerns a school caretaker who turns out to be the father of one of the pupils. When she runs away from home to pursue a career on the stage, he goes to persuade her to come back to school. The title is a reference to the Richard Brinsley Sheridan play The School for Scandal. It was made at the Manchester Studios, and was one of a string of cheaply made, but commercially successful films starring Randle during the era.

Plot
Former Music-Hall act 'Flatfoot' Mason (Frank Randle) is caretaker at a school where one of the pupils unbeknownst to her, is his daughter, Betty (Terry Randall); who was put up for adoption when 'Flatfoot's wife died. She is now a teenager and this causes concern when the staff feel 'Flatfoot' is being over attentive to her. Told to pay her less attention, 'Flatfoot' reluctantly agrees, but Betty thinks he's rejecting her and decides to run away to make a name for herself in show-business. Along with fellow caretakers (Dan Young and Alec Pleon), 'Flatfoot' tracks her down to a seedy cabaret club. Disguising themselves as a Chinese acrobatic troupe "The Three Who Flungs", 'Flatfoot' and friends try to persuade Betty to come home.
