Salvete!
Welcome to the Classics Department. We teach Latin throughout the School, from Year 7 (11 year olds) through GCSE and all the way up to A2 and University level. We also teach Classical Civilisation and Classical Greek.

In the past few years distinguished speakers have come to the School: Barbara Bell (Minimus), Professor Peter Wiseman (Exeter), Dr Peter Jones (Newcastle, Friends of Classics and the Daily Telegraph), Shelley Hales (Bristol) - the Casts Project in Pompeii.

We aim to visit Classical sites such as Bath, Caerleon, Rome, Maiden Castle and the British Museum.
All in all, we try to show every pupil how much of the ancient world there is to enjoy and appreciate in our world of today.

Bath, 2004. We met an Old Blundellian enjoying the delights Bath has to offer.
