The girls will continue their study of the Greek language, consolidating and building on the knowledge they gained at GCSE, translating increasingly complex passages with fluency. We support the girls to expand their knowledge of vocabulary by further reading and providing vocabulary lists which have to be learnt. They will study texts written by a range of prose authors including Thucydides and the verse-unseen author, Sophocles, to develop their linguistic competence. Girls will sit two language examinations: Unseen translation (1 hour 45 minutes); Prose Composition or Comprehension (1 hour 15 minutes).
• GCSE Maths: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • GCSE English or English Language: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • A Level subjects: You must achieve a grade 7, 8, or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. For some subjects, a minimum of grade 8 or 9 is required (see below) We would expect our girls to achieve a grade 7 – 9 in GCSE Classical Greek to continue to A Level.
