FOSIL Symposium 2025: Engaging and Empowering Inquirers

Saturday 8 February

Programme here.

Free and Online – Register here .

The FOSIL Symposium is an opportunity for colleagues who are interested in developing engaged and empowered inquirers to share with and learn from each other. While our focus is FOSIL-based inquiry, it is not exclusively so, and the Symposium is open to and free for all who share our conviction that inquiry, properly understood and supported, is the most potent educational survival strategy that we can equip our students with, which also enables them to thrive.

The Symposium is a rich mix of theoretical insight and practical experience from colleagues in a diverse range of schools, and is an exceptional CPD opportunity.

The revolution will not be televised, although in this case it will be recorded.
