The project combines art & thinking skills to build our community. Project includes collaboration with Tameside Libraries and Culture to deliver Arts Award Discover for 120 pupils. |
Do schools kill curiosity? (link at bottom!)
All of our work at Permanent Education CIC is about encouraging children to ask questions as part of everyday teaching and learning – so it is always useful to read this about this research.
It is good to see the recognition and empathy that teachers are busy so can’t always teach in the way they want to – so we endorse the call for systematic change. It is not fair to expect teachers to provide the answers for a system that doesn’t support all pupils to flourish and doesn’t want curious children to ask questions.
However, we do know that the teachers who take part in our training tell us that it helps them fall back in love with their jobs again. #p4c #permanenteducation #4Csthinking
We’re very excited to say that we have now become a Community Interest Company (CIC). This means that we will still be running our fantastic courses and events in Critical, Creative, Collaborative and Caring thinking skills but as a not-for-profit company so we can reach even more people, schools, community groups and businesses. Get in touch to get involved. enquiry@permanenteducation.org

We can deliver any of our courses online as well as in person. Here is some lovely feedback from our most recent Online Philosophy for Children Course: If you would like to run a course for your staff or a group teachers from different schools (which is easier online) please get in touch paula@permanenteducation.org
Thank you for the insightful sessions, all of the sessions have been beneficial, we are already making plans for September at ALC which is very exciting! Take care and have a lovely summer!
Really interesting with plenty of opportunities to discuss with yourself and the group xx
Thank you very very much Paula. A very useful and interesting course! Enjoy your Summer! xx
Thank you for everything, it’s been really interesting, I’m excited to try and use what I’ve learnt in my lessons. Thanks again!
Excellent course with lots of great ideas and opportunities to discuss philosophy and examples of how to do this with children, which has been very helpful. Use of Breakout Rooms was really well done and made me feel more confident to participate. Thank you!
Very enjoyable, interesting and informative! Looking forward to putting the ideas to work! Thank you!
Thank you very much for a really informative couple of sessions.
A really helpful session with plenty of practical strategies and examples. I have looked forward to logging on every week! Thank you 🙂
A selection of feedback from a group of primary and secondary teachers in Wales, June 2021
We all know that feeling – you’ve had some training – you’ve loved it – you believe in it – but Monday morning in your classroom – where to start?!
Practice Development Days are a vital part of what we do at Permanent Education. When we train a school we can also add on Practice Development Days, later in the school year, to help you embed philosophical teaching and learning into every aspect of your school life – or just to reassure you that you are on the right track! Here are some examples of the support we can offer:
I feel motivated, supported and that I’ve had a really positive use of time. I now know how to move P4C forward in schools and I’m clear how to embed it within school. Thank you!
