We use OCR’s courses for Latin and Greek, and Classical Civilisation. Classical Civilisation is an A-level that will particularly appeal to candidates with an interest in the Classical World but less desire to study, or aptitude for, the Greek and Latin languages. Material studied is a mixture of literature in translation and historical and archaeological sources, and is tested through a variety of essays and shorter questions. It is a great A-level for those who want to extend their knowledge of ancient literature and culture, to reflect on the foundations of the modern European world - and to reflect on the modern world in a better informed position as a result.
It is very much possible for boys to start the subject from scratch at A-level, and plenty of Radleians have done this over the years. On the other hand, having studied the subject at GCSE is obviously a helpful starting point in having an idea of the bigger Classical picture. Classical Civilisation works well as an A-level in combination with a great many other subjects.
