Join us at Inspiring P4C Practice, our Annual Conference for 2020
Friday 6 March at Resource for London

Our theme for 2020: Inspiring P4C Practice

With workshops led by P4C leaders from exemplary SAPERE P4C Award Schools, P4C in the classroom is at the heart of our 2020 conference. Whether you're getting started with P4C or are an experienced practitioner, you'll take home practical strategies and inspirational ideas for developing and sustaining P4C in your school.

Our sessions cover EYFS, primary and secondary levels and will offer you the chance to participate, discuss, share good practice, and experience new thinking and activities on P4C. 

The leaders of our workshops come from schools taking part in SAPERE's Going for Gold programme, and have either achieved the SAPERE P4C Gold Award, or are on course to. Our Gold Award is only awarded to schools which have fully embedded P4C across their ethos, strategy, teaching and learning and which have successfully met rigorous criteria.
