Classical Civilisation is the study of the Greeks and Romans through literature, history, archaeology and philosophy. The study of the Classical World provides an excellent basis for understanding and appreciating modern culture, more of which originates from the Classical World than one might realise. Classical Civilisation is a cross-curricular subject and because of this, and its intrinsically interesting and entertaining subject matter, it has something for everyone. It combines well with most other subjects and leaves pupils’ options open for university decisions.
Although Classical Civilisation is available at GCSE, there is no necessity for pupils to have studied it at this level. There is also no need for any knowledge of either Latin or Greek, as all the literature is studied in translation. The A Level course builds on the skills gained at GCSE through other subjects if necessary, such as English (reading literature) and History (source analysis and essay writing).
Assessment takes the form of three examinations; there is no coursework element. Paper 1 40% - The world of the hero 2 hr 20 mins. 100 marks Paper 2 30% - Imperial Image 1 hr 45 mins. 75 marks Paper 3 30% - Greek Religion 1 hr 45 mins. 75 marks
