A Level Philosophy (ALP) provides conferences on philosophy and religious studies for Years 12 and 13. We host conferences for students and and INSET days for teachers, and also organizes talks and conferences in schools.
Our conferences are designed for teachers and students of the AS and A2 level exams in AQA philosophy, and AQA, OCR, and Edexcel philosophy of religion and ethics, as well as the International Baccalaureate. We use some of the best speakers in the country, with considerable experience of philosophy at this level. But don't take our word for it: You can read what students and teachers have thought of our past events.
ALP has also developed the UK's premier on-line collection of resources for A level philosophy, now hosted by the publishers Routledge at www.routledge.com/textbooks/philosophy/resources.asp. ALP continues to host resources for A level religious studies.
Updates (September 2008)
New AQA syllabus for examination in 2009
ALP is providing INSETs and student conferences on the new syllabus, as well as supporting the existing A2 syllabus.
NEW TEXTBOOK
You can order Michael Lacewing's new textbook for the new AS syllabus Philosophy for AS from Routledge. A companion website accompanies the book. Two new textbooks for A2 will be published in 2009.
Student conferences
The new programme of student conferences supports the new AS syllabus and the existing A2 syllabus.
CORRECTION TO FLYER: our recent flyer wrongly advertises conferences for 'Unit 1' (4 Nov) and 'Unit 2' (7 Nov). The correct titles for autumn 2008 and spring 2009 are as follows:
