P4C is essentially about developing thinking and reasoning skills, through talking and posing challenging questions. These questions cover a range of subjects and experiences. P4C is designed to get everybody thinking. Not all questions can be answered but all answers can be questioned!
P4C sessions allow us time to focus on developing key thinking, communication and social skills. Research shows that P4C supports the development of children's cognitive, speaking, listening and reasoning skills. This, in turn, results in improved English and Maths outcomes.
P4C also allows personal, social and emotional growth of individuals, boosting confidence and self-esteem. Children are given the time and space to learn how to manage their emotions appropriately, as well as allowing them to become more understanding towards one another.
