Philosophy Week September 2025 - 'Big Questions, Little Thinkers!'
During our first week back, alongside settling into new routines, our children have been exploring philosophical thinking skills through exciting discussions and activities. They’ve asked big questions, considered different perspectives, and shared their ideas with confidence.
We ended the week by celebrating our Thinkers of the Week in assembly – what an amazing start to the year! We are so proud of you all!
Thank you to Miss Banks for organising our Philosophy Week!
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically."
