Thousands of parents are unaware that their 11-year-old daughters can get the morning after pill at school - email us your views
In a bid to cut teenage pregnancies, one school has admitted giving out 345 morning after pills in four years.
Britain's teenage pregnancy rate is still one of the highest in Europe and the Government has responded by setting up sexual health clinics in schools .
As well as the morning after pill, some schools are handing out condoms and pregnancy kits.
Mobile sexual health services
Mobile sexual health services have already been set up in eighteen secondary schools in North Staffordshire and 226 schools in the country administer the morning after pill.
Some experts believe that these moves have already helped to cut teenage pregnancies, but not all agree.
Dr Trevor Stammers from Family Youth and Concern says raging teenage hormones are not a good enough reason for youngsters to give into their desires and that abstinence and self-control teaches kids to be more mature.
