Ms Crawley organised the Theology and Philosophy Department’s annual Year 9 Philosophy Afternoon on 26 January 2022. Three speakers from the Philosophy Foundation provided an afternoon of challenging philosophical enquiry. Pupils engaged in a fun and vibrant afternoon full of discussion and debate as they grappled with questions around ‘Knowing’, ‘Truth’ and ‘Belief’.  Year 9 had the opportunity to enhance their communication skills and deepen their thinking and understanding of the world and of themselves through collaborative critical reflection. They mingled in a ‘philosophical cocktail party’ examining several statements such as ‘can you look at a word without reading it’ and ‘can emotions lie’, before break-out groups assessed the differences between knowledge, belief, opinion, and faith. Thank you to Mr Bishop, Miss Hunt and all the girls for making it a fun filled afternoon.
