£150 per person for the full 3 session course
Philosophy for Children, or P4C, is an approach to teaching and learning, in which children take part in philosophical enquiry. It enhances thinking and communication skills, boosts confidence and self-esteem, and improves behaviour and academic attainment. Recognised as having a significant impact, through P4C, which is flexible and can be accommodated in any school setting, children develop their skills and understanding over time through becoming skilled at high quality thinking, questioning and dialogue
