‘A Day to Celebrate Classics’ at Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School
8 March 2023
FREE
Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School would like to invite you and your Classics pupils to an event we are organising on Wednesday 8th March 2023.
To celebrate Classics and all its benefits, we are hosting ‘A Day to Celebrate Classics’ to coincide with our pupils making their GCSE choices and Year 12 pupils considering their university course options.
We have organised a day of exciting talks from a range of university lecturers and authors finishing with a panel of over ten Classics graduates, chaired by Jimmy Mulville, answering questions on their experience of Classics at university and the very different things they have done with their Classics degree. The aim of the day is to celebrate a subject that has enriched so many lives and hopefully to encourage more pupils to choose it as an option at A Level and beyond. So far, confirmed speakers include: Natalie Haynes, Edith Hall, Carrie Vout, Llewelyn Morgan, Emily Kneebone and Giuseppe Pezzini.
Where? Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, W14 8BZ. Nearest tubes are Shepherd’s Bush or Holland Park.
Who can I bring? Currently, spaces will be limited to 10 pupils per school, but please state on the form if you wish to bring more and I will try and accommodate your request. Places will be awarded on a first come first served basis.
Which age group is this day aimed at? Primarily Year 12 pupils, but if you have keen bean Year 11s, then they are most welcome.
What are the timings? We start at 8:45am but you’re welcome to arrive with pupils from 8:00am. The day will finish at 4:30pm.
