On Friday 31st January 2014, Francis Holland School NW1 will be hosting a national Sixth-form Classics Conference once again. This year the day will be devoted to a study of Virgil, and will be suitable for A2 Latin students studying Aeneid IV 1-299 as well as Classical Civilisation students studying the Aeneid in translation.

Dr. Ingo Gildenhard, a fellow of Kings College Cambridge, and author of the insightful commentary on the Virgil set text and Dr. Armand D’Angour from Jesus College, Oxford, who gave a lecture to several schools on Pindar’s Ode after the Olympics last summer will both be speaking on the day.

The conference will be held from 10am-3.30pm, with registration starting from 9.45am. Refreshments will be provided at the start of the conference and during the breaks; however, lunch should be taken off-site. There will be a small charge of £10 per student. A full programme will be advertised as the day approaches.
