Katharine Birbalsingh "Britain’s Strictest Headmistress" has criticised the move to show the Netflix drama Adolescence to younger pupils in schools.
The move has been widely supported by Keir Starmer.
Miss Birbalsingh has noted that the Netflix drama Adolescence is rated a "15".
Miss BirbalSingh posted to X:
Adolescence is a 15.
So you want schools putting on cinema sessions after school for year 11/12/13?
Instead of revision sessions for their GCSEs and A Levels?
We need phones banned, not more screen time.
This is pure theatre.
