As a father, watching this show with my teenage son and daughter, I can tell you it hit home hard. It's an important initiative to encourage as many pupils as possible to watch the show.
Adolescence has captured the national mood, sparking important conversations and helping articulate the pressures young people and parents face in today's society.
We're incredibly proud of the impact the show has made, and are delighted to be able to offer it to all schools across the UK through Into Film+.
