First and foremost for its own sake; a study of the Classics is particularly satisfying because it covers an entire culture: language, literature, history and philosophy. Seeing life from every angle means transferable skills, research, analysis, mastering a language and creativity, to name but a few, are highly developed. The multi-faceted nature of Classics means it is an ideal subject to combine with both Sciences and the Arts, and the skills developed mean it is highly valued and respected by universities and employers around the world.
The standard entry requirement for students entering Sixth Form is 6 GCSEs at grade 5 or above with a grade 7 or above in the subjects they wish to pursue at A Level. Students studying subjects such as Psychology and Business Studies that have not been studied previously, should show proficiency in similar subjects. Entry is at the discretion of the Headmaster. A minimum grade 6 in a Humanities subject is required for Classical Civilisation at A Level.
Classical Civilisation - all examinations take place at the end of the two-year course. There is no coursework or controlled assessment. The papers assess a knowledge and understanding of literature, visual and material culture and classical thought.
