Why teach our GCSE Classical Civilisation qualification?

• the opportunity to explore both ancient Greece and Rome thematically, creating a wide-ranging and challenging course of study
• an emphasis on enabling students to respond to and engage with a wealth of sources and ideas, equipping them with readily transferable, analytical skills
• the opportunity to study a wide range of topics and sources, including both literature and visual/material culture, which will inspire students to engage further with the classical world
• freely available literary source booklets so you don’t have to buy any of these materials yourself
• fully endorsed textbooks from our publishing partner Bloomsbury which cover all of the options on the specification
• an accessible route into studying classics – our specifications do not require any previous study of a classical subject or knowledge of Classical Greek or Latin languages.
