The ancient societies of Greece and Rome, and their forebears, inform many aspects of modern life through their languages, cultures, and ideas.

The Classics department is committed to promoting the excitement and intellectual training to be gained from studying these.

The language curriculum at every level stretches pupils far beyond the demands of exam syllabuses, but as a department we are far more than that. We aim to broaden pupils鈥 knowledge about the vibrant history and culture of the ancient world and give it a footing in contemporary life. We do this through a challenging yet exciting course incorporating Latin, Greek, and Ancient History.

Co-curricular

We run regular trips to the Bay of Naples, Greece and other sites of classical interest. We also take trips to performances of Greek drama, conferences, competitions, and exhibitions. There are also two classical societies to which pupils of all ages contribute.
