This A4 P4C poster is designed to be put up, preferably as a sticker, on the toilets in your school.
It consists of a 2000 word list of philosophical questions to provoke philosophical thought.
Simple idea, but takes ages to make! The file is a .pdf
This product includes three double-sided, colour, A4 Worksheets for form-tutors to give to their students.
They focus on three philosophical topics: metaphysics, ethics/morality, and epistemology: each worksheet contains a number of fun little activities to provoke thought, discussion, and debate.
Each worksheet should keep students busy for 10-15 minutes. I advise giving them one each week over three weeks :)
I hope you enjoy!

The following worksheet can be used with any documentary, long video or series of videos,
It can be used in any subject and for any topic.
The purpose is to focus learning whilst students watch a video. It allows students to 'get more out of' video-watching activities and allows teachers to structure discussions as a result.
Whilst watching a documentary or video students add to the following rubrics:
-5 interesting things I saw…
-One big question I would ask…
-The four points to summarise the video(s)…
-Interesting things I heard…
-How I could connect this to other subjects…
-Five ways I can connect this topic to my own life…
-One thing I will definitely remember…
-Interesting facts from the videos…
-Questions I would ask…
A tried and tested tool I have used many times. If you're "just watching a video" at the end of term and want to make it a more meaningful and productive task: this worksheet is for you!

The quiz is a simple test that looks for indicators of religious extremism and exposure to Wahhabist Islam (the branch that has become associated with terrorism). If you fear individuals in your school may have issues in relation to religious extremism, this is the test for you.
It should NOT be used as a whole school test: this would risk inflaming islamophobia in your school.
It should be used with individual students with the utmost discretion and privacy, and only where previous evidence deems suspicion reasonable and rational.
The ideal person to administer this test is the school counsellor or someone in a position of trust in relation to the individual student.
The questionnaire is a tool for exploring basic attitudes to Britain, Western values, religious tolerance, and extremist attitudes. The odd numbers are all positive indicators, the even numbers are negative indicators ; you should be able to create a total score for a given student if you wish to create data using this test.
Ideally, once the test is complete, a teaching professional or counsellor can discuss the students answers and clarify their meaning.
Professionals are advised to handle this matter with the utmost delicacy.
An exam wrapper (A.K.A. Cognitive Wrapper) is a worksheet that allows for before and after reflections when students are taking practice exam papers or undergoing assessments. This exam wrapper is suitable for all subjects and is a fantastic way to improve the value and usefulness of practice assessments.
Please see the attached preview files to see the high quality of these double-sided, colour, fully-editable, exam wrappers.
Exam wrappers foster metacognition in students (i.e. getting to think about how they learn best and what factors are influencing their academic performance) - exam wrappers are frequently cited by researchers as an example of effective metacognition in schools.
It is widely accepted that the use of exam wrappers is “best practice”: yet there are very few available online, and those that exist are often for university students and not suitable for younger people. This wrapper is designed for students aged 14-18 (KS4 & KS5) - and is designed to be fast, fun, and engaging.
This download comprises one of five exam wrappers, you can buy all five versions in our bundle (linked below) and save money by doing so: using a variety of exam wrappers will help students to engage in a broader array of metacognitive reflection activities.
