A Level Philosophy organizes conferences and talks for schools. Our forthcoming conferences and a number of past conferences are listed below, for information if you want to attend, and to give an idea of what we can do for you. You can either organize an 'open' conference, and invite surrounding schools; or organize something exclusively for your students. Regarding talks, we can cover most aspects of the syllabi for AQA Philosophy and the units on ethics and philosophy of religion for AQA, OCR, and Edexcel Religious Studies. We also give talks on exam revision and exam technique, and studying philosophy at university.

If you'd like a talk on A level philosophy at your school, then please send an email or phone us on 01865 370718. Fees depend on what you'd like covered, where you are in the country, and how large the conference will be.
