Had a great night at @RoyalArmouries with @classicsforall, celebrating our annual Impact Awards. I was proud to celebrate Emma Noble from @stambrosehigh, whose stellar work in growing Classical Studies there is emblematic of the powerful impact teachers can have on their pupils!
Congratulations to Emma Noble, a very worthy winner of the 2025 Scotland Network Impact Award with @classicsforall. We look forward to supporting Emma to expand Classical Studies further in the coming months!
Not sure how many folks still use this platform, but I hope you will share notice of a new scheme designed to spur interest in Classics in the state sector, with help from friends at Glasgow Academy.
Places in N5 Latin, Higher and Adv Higher Classical Studies classes available!

It's owner, William Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews, played an absolutely enormous role in the reign of King Robert I, promoting Bruce's rights both within Scotland & abroad. A lot of Bruce's success, particularly in diplomatic terms, was thanks to Lamberton's energy & skill.
