Ms Crawley organised the Theology and Philosophy Department’s annual Year 9 Philosophy Afternoon on Tuesday 30th January 2024.  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 ‘Intent’, ‘Truth’ and ‘Morality’.  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 ‘Do you own your nostrils’ before break-out groups examined the story of The Surgeon with Cold Hands.
