Philosophy for Primary & Secondary Schools
Real questions.
Young minds.
Intuit brings genuine philosophical enquiry into schools — not simplified or sanitised, but the real thing, made accessible. Children as young as seven can handle these ideas. They just need someone willing to ask.
What Intuit does
Into it. Intuition. Both.
Intuit visits schools to run sessions in which children encounter genuine philosophical problems — not simplified versions, but the real thing, approached through art, music, story and Socratic dialogue.
Every session is designed so that children feel the problem before they think it. Philosophy by the back door. The questions they leave with are ones they'll still be turning over at dinner.
Testimonials
What schools say
The children were completely captivated. The Ship of Theseus lesson sparked conversations that went on for the rest of the week. One child asked their parents about it at dinner and came back the next day with a new argument.
I've seen a lot of enrichment providers come through. Most talk down to children. Mat doesn't. He takes their thinking seriously and the children respond to that immediately. An extraordinary session.
I didn't think seven-year-olds could engage with the problem of universals. I was wrong. The approach — starting with chairs, of all things — was disarmingly simple and completely effective.
Testimonials are illustrative placeholders — replace with real quotes as you collect them.
Curriculum fit
It earns its place on the timetable
Intuit sessions credibly serve SMSC, oracy, critical thinking, and PSHE — which means they're not an optional extra. They're a defensible use of school time that Ofsted will recognise.
State schools and independents both welcome. Fees are transparent and negotiable for smaller state primaries.
