Members of the @SCHSgdst Classics Department complete the Latin crossword while waiting for the Bronze groups to finish the first day of their @DofE practice expedition. #SCHSdofe@DofELondon
"Latin and Greek are alive and kicking in our corner of South London" @MrAJChristie explains why Classics are still important, and why his school wanted local state schools to benefit too @SCHSgdst @GDST

Our twilight GCSE Classical Civilisation lessons have moved online, allowing us to welcome pupils from four local state schools to study alongside our girls. It was fantastic to welcome 26 pupils virtually! #SCHSpartnerships#SCHScommunity#powerofpartnerships
Congratulations to our first GCSE Classical Civilisation cohort of pupils from 4 local state schools. In only an hour a week, in just a year and a half, they achieved one 9, three 8s, four 7s, one 6 and two 5s. We are extremely proud of them! #SCHSpartnerships#gcseresults2020
It seems likely that there will be local lockdowns this term. Help the girls in our @GDST sister academies to continue learning by donating to our fundraising campaign #Strivefor25 to provide laptops for the most disadvantaged. https://t.co/MJvhJ74Sq6 #SCHScharity#digitaldivide
Mr Christie has challenged himself to spend 25 days learning Finnish. How are you going to #Strivefor25 to break down the digital divide and support our @GDST sister academies with laptops? Please give generously: https://t.co/uoR3E6dbpf #SCHScharity@SCHSgdst
It was fantastic to have a virtual meeting of our Classics Society, Arete. Thank you to Miss MacPhee for giving a presentation on one of her favourite things from the Classical World. #SCHSsocieties@SineMetuSCHS@SCHSgdst
Our Year 3s have undertaken an array of creative learning from home this week with projects on Ancient Greece; finding out about red squirrels; and Sophia has made a wonderful link between maths and music. Well done to all in our fantastic SCPS family! #GuidedHomeLearning
