KS3 Classics
For a long time the classics have been reserved for the elite and used as a method of social exclusion. The CFS Classics Department embodies optimum omnibus and strongly believes that every child should have the opportunity to study the classical world, regardless of background or ability.
Pupils are well equipped to progress linguistically throughout the key stages by gradually building their understanding of vocabulary, grammar, translation, comprehension and appreciation of literary style.
At CFS pupils gain the ability to think and write like a classicist. Not only do they gain the fundamental skills to read ancient languages, but they also gain the skills to analyse and critically question the (often problematic) nature of the ancient world and its legacy.
