Philosophy Friday – What makes a good school?

Friday 12 September 2025

Philosophy is thinking deeply.

Every Friday, we start our day with some time to wonder and ponder.

We’ve a different question each week – there’s no obvious right/wrong answer and no underlying moral message. All children are given the opportunity to contribute their ideas and give reasons for their thoughts.

The children had some lovely responses. A good school is a place where:

People are kind to each other.
– Imogen

You can have fun with your friends.
– Ella D

You can learn about numbers.
– Darcey

People share.
– Arlo

Help at home by discussing this week’s Philosophy Friday question with your child.
