Classical Greek (Twilight)
Classical Greek opens a door into the lively world of ancient Greek language and culture, where pupils will journey with Odysseus to the lands of the Cyclops and enter the Labyrinth with Theseus to defeat the Minotaur.
Learners will develop their understanding of the Classical Greek language and the related ancient literature, values and society.
Knowledge of Latin is beneficial, but not essential, to study this programme.
We study Greek to GCSE by John Taylor, which introduces students to the alphabet, language and culture of Ancient Greece. Students will learn to analyse and evaluate ancient Greek stories and explore the culture that produced such writers as Homer, Euripides and Xenophon. For anyone interested in language, linguistics and the Ancient Greeks, this is a great option to consider.
This option runs every two years, starting in September.
Twilight Courses
Twilight courses provide students with interests in specific areas the opportunity to further challenge themselves by studying for an extra GCSE. They are an extension to our normal curriculum offer of nine GCSE subjects and are delivered in lessons at the end of the school day from 3.40-5.40pm.
As with any other GCSE course there will be independent study required, including set homework, and there may also be a non-examination assessment element to complete.
A student can only study for one additional GCSE at a time. A course will only run if there are enough students to make it feasible. This course attracts an additional fee.
