Who We Are
We provide FREE support for schools wishing to introduce Classics. This includes training for non-specialist teachers, the opportunity to join a wider network of teachers and be part of teach-meets, joint CPD, and other events. We share recommended resources and materials, so that teachers feel confident in delivering the subject, even if they are not a subject specialist.
