Latin and Greek involve much more than the study of two dead languages. They offer a broad and balanced education in language, literature and civilisation with each of these three areas imparting distinctive skills and knowledge and creating enjoyment and interest of enduring, life-enriching relevance. Both subjects are also viewed extremely favourably by universities and future employers; in an increasingly competitive market, they serve as easy differentiators between the merely very good and the exceptional. As Richard Dawkins puts it, 'What Classics has always done is just teach people how to think.'
Our standard Sixth Form offer for A levels or IB is a total of 62 GCSE points from nine subjects, which is calculated by adding up all grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. (The minimum therefore is eight grade 7's and one grade 6, or equivalent.) Grade 7 in the relevant language
