Monday and Tuesday this week we had the privilege of having Leeds University Undergraduates come in to run a two-day Ethics Workshop with our GCSE Religious Studies students. Covering topics such as ‘What is art?’ and ‘What are feminist views on the family?’. It was brilliant to see our Year 10s getting stuck into lively discussions and group work.
Our Curriculum Leader for RPE, Mrs Searle, had this to say: “The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for students to work with Leeds University and debate degree level topics."
The workshop coincides with British Philosophy Fortnight - raising awareness of what philosophy is and why it matters. Philosophy is an exciting subject, which provides the skills to think big, to question why things are the way they are and to ask how they should be. Studying philosophy, whether in formal education or informally for personal interest, improves understanding of complex issues and increases well-being.
