A2 Classics Teaching

Head of Classics has been teaching Classic Civilisation and Latin to A2 students at Cheney School.

Aims

To provide specialist teaching to A2 students at Cheney School. The need was identified when discussing our other joint projects with Cheney School's Head of Classics.

Encouragement and participation in Classics studies at A2 level and beyond.

Sixth form students and the Classics Department at Cheney School. The teaching also feeds into the IRIS project to promote Classics in schools.

Background

The partnerships came about through discussions with Cheney at another partnership event by asking what Cheney needed.
