We are passionate about providing opportunities for children to be quality thinkers. We run workshops to support teachers in developing critical and creative inquiry methodology in their teaching practice.
We do this because of the consistent body of evidence over several decades that demonstrates P4C provides measurable educational benefits to children: academically, socially and emotionally. As an example, a 2016 study involving 3,159 Year 3 students from 48 schools across the UK saw English and Maths scores improve by an average of two months and the benefits were even more pronounced for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
