Classical Civilisation enables pupils to study some of the greatest achievements of ancient Greek and Roman culture without the need to learn Latin and ancient Greek. Each component requires study of key texts in translation together with visual and cultural material. Assessment is by written examination, externally marked, involving short answers, stimulus questions and essays. There is no coursework. There are three components.
In late January the Director of Admissions allocates House places. At this time as much account as possible is taken of any preference a pupil has stated. In June, three months prior to entry, pupils visit the College to meet with Heads of Department, Housemasters, key members of staff and the Guidance Department to discuss A-level choices and tertiary education options. In August GCSE results are sent to Marlborough. All candidates (Scholars included) must achieve at least a six-grade BS or six 6’s in their GCSEs including English and Mathematics (in practice, most successful candidates will get more GCSEs at considerably higher grades than these). In September pupils arrive to begin their education at Marlborough.
