Classics Department

A year full of Classics moments

Pottery Club

The Classics Department has been busy this year with lots of activities. Our Greek Pottery Club proved as popular as ever with lots of girls from Years 7 and 8 making very creditable Greek pots.

Chester

The Year 7s enjoyed a trip to Chester where they scrutinised Latin inscriptions on Roman tombstones and were kept in order in the city by several Roman Soldiers.

York

The Year 7s investigated the ancient city of York and had a fabulous day, learning many new things about how the invasion of the Romans is still evident in our society today.

An Italian adventure

We took 50 girls and 6 members of staff to Italy this year. In spite of the freezing temperature on Mount Vesuvius (or, perhaps, because of it), we had an action-packed and successful holiday. The highlights were a warm day in Pompeii and a visit to the Archaeological Museum at Naples, which has some stunning exhibits.
