The study of Classical Civilisations allows NEW students to time travel back to the ancient Greco-Roman world by exploring the legacies which have shaped literature, language, arts, politics and philosophy of the western world. Throughout this course, students will critically analyse, interpret and evaluate, using evidence to make substantiated judgements and produce coherent, reasoned arguments. Not only do we listen to voices throughout history, we also implore all students to express themselves both orally and through written means as we believe that our students will shape the future. Over the course of the qualification, students will study a diverse range of ancient material and make connections between them. Furthermore, students will also be taught how to articulate informed responses with substantiated evidence-based judgements. By the end of Year 13, students will have acquired a sound basis for further study of the classical world. The World of the Hero is a compulsory unit where students study Homer’s Iliad and Virgil’s Aeneid. Greek Theatre is the study of visual material culture and literature in translation. Greek Religion is the study of classical thought, along with either literature in translation or visual/material culture.
Five GCSE grades at 4 and above. GCSE English Language and/or Literature at a grade 5 or higher. You must be passionate about literature and history and be prepared to fully immerse yourself into the course, both in and outside of lessons.
• 100% examination which will be sat at the end of Year 13. • The examination will be split into 3 papers, which will each assess the 3 components taught throughout the course. • Weekly extended retrieval tasks • On going extended writing
