EE in Action - In Schools

Over the term 2007/08 a number of schools (including Newall Green, Southern Cross and North Manchester High School for Girls) agreed to act as pilot schools for the theatre in education piece, and the development of the support to schools package.

The schools received two pupil workshops, the foundation for the development of the theatre piece. As well as this, they committed to:

• Pilot the follow-up lessons to the theatre piece.
• Further develop their PSHE curriculum and cross-curricular links to include sexuality and associated issues.
• Review all appropriate policies to include aspects of sexual diversity.

These schools were supported throughout this process by members of the Exceeding Expectations education sub group, who used the outcomes from this to produce appropriate and user-friendly materials for use in all schools in Manchester.

This was an exciting opportunity for all concerned, and for feedback on this you can check out the feedback page.
