What do our staff think?
“Through our P4C activities we have noticed our children developing a more empathetic and
mature approach to working and playing together. They have become better at taking
responsibility for their actions.” Mrs Cummins
“P4C has influenced my teaching because it has provided the opportunities to discuss some
challenging topics in a structured format with very young children.” Mrs Crosland
“P4C has opened up our children’s minds and enabled them to see and understand other
people’s points of view.” Mr Bunch
“It provides a great opportunity for children to be exposed to, and listen to each other’s
views and opinions. It’s a great ‘light bulb’ moment to see when a child realises there’s
another way of looking at something that has never occurred to them before, and it came
from their peers and not their teacher. Their eyes have been opened a little wider to the
world.” Miss Garbo
“In curriculum terms, the impact of P4C is wide-ranging; From children’s writing, to
comprehension of texts and understanding of the reasons behind historical events, P4C has a
positive influence on learning across so many areas. Some of the reasons I have listened to
children give in response to the questions posed by Miss Garbo in her P4C assemblies have
been incredible.” Mrs Goodchild
