Pupils Asked To Write SUICIDE NOTE For School Homework Project

A secondary school has defended asking pupils aged 14 and 15 to pen a suicide note as part of a homework project. Beachamps High School in Wickford, Essex, asked pupils to imagine the last thoughts of a suicide victim in the J.B. Priestley play, 'An Inspector Calls' for their English homework . But the assignment sparked anger from parents - with the head teacher of the school defending claims it had been 'inappropriate'.
