Thank you Gina for a fab two days learning the basics of P4C. I feel informed and confident to start applying my learning to a class situation.

Philosophy for Children, Level 1 training at Brockholes Nature Reserve, January 2020
During the Summer term of 2018, I worked directly with 150 teachers, 50 different schools (returning to many offering more focused support) and over 500 pupils!
Gina has been instrumental in our school gaining the Bronze P4C award. Philosophy 4 Children has a very high status in our curriculum and this approach to teaching has significantly developed our pupils thinking, reasoning and speaking and listening skills. Gina supported us in our application for funding which enabled all staff to receive level 1 or level 2 training. Her passion for P4C and outdoor learning has inspired us all.
