📖 Huge congratulations to Upper Sixth pupil Isabella, who received the fantastic news last night that she has gained an offer from @MertonCollege to read Classics

Another busy day of sightseeing: Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trajan’s Column as well as a bit of time for vintage shopping! Finished off with sunset up the il vittoriano.

[Sedbergh Classics @Sed_Classics]

Over 30,000 steps of exploring on day 1! Particular highlights were the Circus Maximus and Domus Aurea. Colosseum first thing tomorrow.

The Pantheon was a lot bigger than most people were expecting! Now for a gelato…

Let’s hope the weather forecast doesn’t lie! 10 degrees warmer and guaranteed sun in Rome 🤞

Last ever Classics lesson for this small but perfectly formed U6 cohort! 😢 Thought we’d better dress up appropriately... You have been an absolute pleasure to teach, whether in the classroom, virtually or in the streets of Rome and Pompeii. ‘faber est suae quisque fortunae’

[Sedbergh Classics @Sed_Classics]

Last lesson with GCSE Latin! Well done to this lovely group; you have been great fun to teach, whether on or offline... Nice that Jess’ chicken could be there to share this poignant moment with us 🐓🏛👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 @Sed_Academic

@AlexHardwick95 We can confirm that at least half of these things are official Sedbergh departmental policy...!
