Sixth Form Philosphy

“It is an incredibly interesting and valuable subject, one that I find myself discussing often even with friends and family that have no academic interest in philosophy.”

“I think it’s a really interesting subject and can tie into pretty much any other A Level as well.”

“I would recommend philosophy A Level to other students because I feel like it is a good subject to do especially if you are willing to learn about different theories on how we gain knowledge or how we should act in society according to different philosophers.”

“Philosophy had introduced me to many interesting debates and frequently makes me question my own beliefs.”

“An extremely rewarding experience… I enjoy the debate style of the lessons…the discussion prompts interesting insight into the topics we are discussing.”

“I would recommend it to any student who wishes to study philosophy further, and who wants a subject which will challenge them at first but will be intellectually fruitful later in the year.”

“Both teachers have been extremely helpful in terms of support they offer, and the guidance they give aims for us to succeed as much as possible in both respective teacher’s courses.”

“The teaching style encourages discussion and critical thinking rather than just learning facts. Being able to engage with the material through discussions has made the course more meaningful and has helped deepen my understanding.”

“The open class discussions are engaging and allow me to check my understanding or express my interpretation of what had been previously said.”
