Classical Civilisation makes its return as an A-level option in Sixth Form. It is an incredibly broad and varied subject, covering all aspects of Greek and Roman life through the literature, art, archaeology and philosophy of the ancient world. There is no prior knowledge or experience of the classical world required, and everything you study is in translation. The OCR specification is a vibrant, engaging and varied course and works brilliantly with a range of other subjects. Start by watching the video here to learn more about Classical Civilisation.
No Requirements, Although it is a good start if you have secured a Grade 6 or above in English Literature GCSE.
This is an essay subject, so homework will often consist of extended writing. However, there are only three types of question across the three papers: 10 mark: analysis of a source (a passage of text, a visual source such as a Greek vase, or a Greek idea) 20 marks: an extended answer using the source as a starting point and comparing it with other topic areas 30 marks: an essay covering a range of topics covered across the year Because of this uniform structure and approach, you will find that you quickly learn how to approach each type of question and can practise your technique across all three papers. We will offer plenty of support in essay writing, so please don't worry if this is something that you have found difficult in the past.
