The topics for discussion involved the ethics of censorship in science, whether evolution has a direction, the possibility of miracles if Natural Laws are fixed for all time and whether we have a duty to protect endangered species. Congratulations to Layla who won ‘Most Outstanding Year 11 Student’ and received a Philosophy book as her prize. The Judges were Science and Philosophy Postgraduates from Bristol University and they commented on  the high standard iof discussion.   Date Posted: 20 March, 2018 [Share](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/news-article/philosothon-competition) ## Articles for: ![Top marks from the Good Schools Guide](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/School%20generic%20square%20.jpg?width=770&name=School%20generic%20square%20.jpg) **Top marks from the Good Schools Guide** Date Posted: 8 February, 2022 We were delighted to receive the reports written by the Good Schools Guide following their visit in November.
