Gold Award

We  currently hold the 'Gold' award by 'Sapere' here at Leesland. We are very proud of our children and their wonderful thinking skills.

This means that as a school:

• Children work using the 4C model, contributing to and reviewing class ground rules regularly.
• Children understand the philosophical enquiry process and take part in activities to develop P4C skills.
• Children increasingly recognise and use the language of enquiry, and caring, collaborative behaviour.
• Children are increasingly confident in identifying and asking open philosophical questions.
• Children are able to give reasons to support a view.
• Children are able to use an example or evidence to support or challenge a view.
• Children are beginning to connect ideas and use reasoning across the curriculum.
• Children are able to identify big ideas/concepts in their questions

Website Wonders 

Our Website Wonders Section sets a different idea to think about at home.

At Leesland we believe that it really important for us all to have time to think deeply and P4C is an excellent starting point for this.

If you have a discussion at home about our 'website wonder', we would love to hear your thoughts!

Please send them into the year group email and our P4C Champions will look through the comments.
