Join The Thinker's innovative programme for primary children, developing thinking and discussion skills through philosophical discussion, games, projects, competitions and activities. Pupils work towards prestigious bronze, silver and gold awards.

    Now running at Dovedale Primary, Booker Avenue Junior School, Bishop Martin CE School and Carleton House Preparatory School, weeklyYoung Philosophers Training sessions offer Year 4-6 students an engaging platform to explore big ideas while building critical, creative, collaborative, and caring thinking skills. Rooted in the ‘Community of Inquiry’ method, these sessions foster thoughtful discussion, nurture positive character traits, and introduce key areas of philosophy such as moral philosophy, metaphysics, and epistemology, alongside insights from inspirational thinkers.


    Each session follows six steps:

    1. Think About It – A short story, image, object, or video sparks curiosity.
    2. The Big Question – Either introduced by the facilitator or democratically chosen by participants.
    3. Reflection Time – Students craft their arguments and reasons individually.
    4. Small Group Discussions – Ideas are shared, tested, and debated in pairs or groups.
    5. Whole Group Inquiry – The facilitator guides open discussion, encouraging fairness, focus, and collaboration.
    6. Final Reflections – Students reflect on how their views evolved and key insights gained.


    YPT sessions are lively, thought-provoking, and fun, with warm-up activities like ‘Would You Rather?’, logic puzzles, and lateral thinking challenges to kickstart creativity. These sessions encourage mental discipline, self-control, and a willingness to engage with big ideas.

    Ready to spark philosophical curiosity? Visit our Event Booking Page for current sessions or contact info@thethinkerhub.com to explore starting your own YPT group—in person or online. Let’s build a community of thinkers!
