Sugar and Spice by Future’s Company

Year 9 students received the Sugar and Spice performance

and workshop from the Future’s Company. This supported their

PSHEE lessons on Sex and Relationships. The performance

challenged attitudes around gender stereotypes, sexual

exploitation and gang culture.

The forum workshop that followed was very inactive, as several

Year 9 students took the role of the main characters.
