From the video…

“P4C has had a massive impact on the school and the culture; the way they speak even outside of the classroom. Also, it’s helped with their understanding of the world and different contexts…” — Pamela Shaw, Y1 Teacher

“It actually does make us think really, really deep… the more you think deeply, that means you know what you’re actually going to say.” — Nicole, pupil

“I think it’s had a big impact on their communication skills and their language development. And they’re always really supportive of each other.” — Elli Herbert, FS2 teacher

Our vision is a future where everyone has the opportunity to engage philosophically in discussions and public discourse that matters to them. We work disproportionately with the most disadvantaged students, where the evidence tells us that P4C has the greatest impact.
