Classical Civilization is offered throughout the School. At KS5 pupils broaden their education by studying aspects of the Classical World including Pompeii the Odyssey and the Roman invasion of Britain. For GCSE they study Myth and Religion and War and Warfare looking at both Greece and Rome. At A Level they study the Aeneid, the Odyssey, Greek Drama and Politics of the Late Roman Republic. We have a full program of trips including Fishbourne Roman Palace, the British Museum and plays in London. Pupils have also visited the Bay of Naples.
At least 5 GCSEs at grades 9-5, including English and Mathematics. You do not need to have studied Classics or History for GCSE. Candidates without a Grade 6 (or equivalent) in English may find the subject difficult. However, individual cases are looked at on their own merits. The course does not involve the learning of ancient languages – all the work is in English.
