Course summary

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.

Entry requirements

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.
