The great philanthropist John Paul Getty, when asked why he preferred Classicists as his senior executives, simply replied ‘They sell more oil’. For ‘oil’ read ‘renewable energy’ and you have a modern mantra that explains why Classicists are so highly employable: they are trained to think analytically; they have studied human nature, politics, art, science, linguistics, rhetoric, poetry, drama and philosophy over the course of an empire that lasted for a thousand years; and they have a breadth of vision to which no other subject even comes close.
Godolphin's Sixth entry is based on an interview and written papers, usually in each of a candidate’s proposed subjects. We also ask their existing Head for a reference and, if taking (I)GCSE examinations, each candidate will be expected to gain a minimum of five subjects at grade B/5 or above with a minimum of A/7 grades in those subjects the candidate wishes to study in Godolphin Sixth.
