A level Greece Trip
Posted 14th March, 2017
We have just returned from a fantastically successful four day trip to the birthplace of theatre and democracy (and Homer). Aside from a slightly (!) damp day in Mycenae, the weather was perfect, as were the students who were both a credit to Redborne and great fun to be with.
​
It confirmed the choice of several of them to read Classics at university and left all of us confirmed Hellenophiles!
​
Roll on 2019 and the next A level Greece trip...

European Festival of Latin and Greek
Posted 18th March, 2017
​
On Friday 24th March, Classicists from all across Europe will gather in small groups to read aloud at least one book from Homer's Odyssey, either in their own language or Homer's Greek.
We plan to join in with this, probably in our school library but the final details are to be confirmed. Hopefully we will be able to record it and upload our first podcast.
Watch this space!
