What do I offer

I provide accredited and bespoke P4C training at introductory and advanced level for organisations, universities, schools, teaching school alliances and academy trusts - locally, nationally and internationally. I love to collaborate with educators and organisations to create innovative projects and resources.  If you are new to P4C, why not book on a low-cost Philosofun event.

I also provide RE training for Cumbria County Council and Global Learning training with Cumbria Development Education Centre.

I mostly work in Cumbria, Lancashire and Scotland although I have a long history of running training for schools in Cheshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Bristol.
