Recently, our Year 12 Philosophy and Ethics pupils worked collaboratively in a Harkness style lesson to plan an essay response about Wittgenstein’s Language Game theory. The pupils shared explanations of the theory and then critically assessed the theory in a debate, to help decide if the theory is a successful explanation of how we can talk about God.

This strategy allows pupils to take ownership of their learning and reflects styles of learning in higher education in a post -18 environment. Miss L Roach, Subject Leader, said: “The pupils are an invaluable resource to one another and it was fantastic to see them confidently articulate what they had learnt in lessons and share their evaluate insights.”
