Now Rolling - Roadshows at a High School Near You!

Exciting roadshows are heading to schools across Kirklees.

The Drug Sense/The Wright Stuff roadshow will include the brand new film from The Wright Stuff, called Supply and Demand.

The entertaining film – based on a spoof Newsnight – features The Wright Stuff’s comedy Spitting Image-style puppets.

Year 10 pupils at all 25 high schools in the area will be able to enjoy a screening of the film, then join in with workshops relating to issues it brings up.

Teachers will also be discussing issues related to the roadshow in lessons, using a teaching pack supplied as part of the roadshow.

Said Val Flintoff, Kirklees Drugs Education Advisor: “The roadshow forms an important part of a wider package of support for drugs education for students in Kirklees schools.

“Students always enjoy the lively and entertaining format of the roadshow. It is a great way of raising important issues about drugs, drug users and drug misuse.

“All schools will be offered the roadshow, a comprehensive teaching pack and training so staff feel confident to discuss drugs with their students.”
