Two years before the release of ‘Adolescence’, and around the time we started hearing about someone called Andrew Tate, our department planned a series of BGE lessons with the aim of helping our pupils to become better thinkers.

Here’s why these clubs are not only beneficial for students but also help elevate the presence and impact of the department. They create a dynamic environment for students to explore complex ethical issues, expand knowledge beyond the classroom, and build a sense of community, ultimately attracting a diverse group of students and ensuring enhanced visibility for the department.
