Children will learn the art of debate. They will look at how to prepare arguments and debate between themselves on a variety of topics, particularly those covered in the RS and Philosophy sessions although students do not need to have attended these to take part.
General info
Children are welcome to stay between sessions and play in our rooms - we have a wide selection of games and toys, or of course they are welcome to bring their own activities. You are usually welcome to leave children with us during their lessons so long as you remain contactable - we will ask you to come in or to stay if your child needs you, or you are welcome to stay onsite with your child. We do ask that you are on site with your child between lessons and take responsibility for ensuring that your child gets to their lessons, (unless by prior agreement). We have a very busy day with lots of families taking part so the teachers and shop staff are not able to take responsibility for other children. We also ask that you ensure your child clears up after themselves before they leave.
For new families we have a guidance and expectations sheet that we will ask you and your child to agree to when you first join us.
