Philosophy For Children
We aspire to all our pupils developing high levels of skill in collaborative, caring, critical and creative thinking - the 4Cs of P4C ~ critical, creative, collaborative and caring thinking. Philosophy is embedded in our learning at Armathwaite. We in addition, children take part in enquiries with the other members of staff linked to specific curriculum areas. Each half term, the whole school comes together to take part in a cross-phase enquiry prepared and facilitated by the older children.
We were absolutely thrilled to have been accredited with the Gold P4C School Award in 2015. We were the first school in the North west and only the fifth in the country. We have since been re-assessed in as a gold school in 2018. You can read a copy of the report from this visit here.
