Had tremendous fun, attending and speaking at this event yesterday. Lovely to put some faces to names too.

Thanks to all who came to my talk. I was very nervous; hope it wasn’t too garbled.

[The Classical Association @Classical_Assoc]

The CA is delighted to be working with @uniofwarwick to host an in-person Classical Civilisation CPD day on 17 June. Offering a range of workshops to support GCSE and A Level teachers as well as networking opportunities. See programme and register here:

This fell out of my book this morning…

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

I hope everyone got the results their efforts merited!

How are we feeling about the results? Any oddities, or all plain-sailing?

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

How are we feeling about this year's Classical papers?

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

Well, now... It's been 18 months since I last posted. Much has changed, but I'm back to poke my head above the ramparts. New CPD courses from Eupraxis Education coming in the Autumn term!

Apparently I’m invigilating on the nascent Greek corridor today… Not sure who Carl Gauss was; presumably a German scholar of the ancient world? 😂

@Caecilius_CLC @CJMusgrove88 Ah, great interview! Thanks for sharing!

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

@DocCrom @hackloon @RGSNewcastle Oh, I loved Simon Squires. Terribly sad news.

And, yes, that was the Bacchae year. Second messenger part two, reporting for duty. “Πενθεα δε ίδρυσας έλαττινων something something…”

I’ve just photocopied Tim Clark’s excellent production notes from @RGSNewcastle / CNHS-as-was version of Aristophanes’ Frogs, for distribution to my current Sixth Form group.

Great to see names of @DocCrom , @hackloon , Monah Mansoori et al in the cast list.

@DocCrom @RGSNewcastle @hackloon “Can I go to Blazes?”
“Y’can as far as I’m concerned!”

Will DM you!

@Doctor_Monah ^ Couldn’t find the right tag, temporarily.

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

Tim Clark is better known to generations of nascent Classicists as Caecilius from the sometimes hilarious but always useful @Caecilius_CLC videos of the early 2000s.

@GreekGeek_97 @KeynoteEd Glad you found it in the end! :)

@LEJenksBrown @lfmcnally “Both sides of the argument” needs a bit of sieving imvho. Acknowledge limitations of your argument and rebut counter-points to achieve “balance”. Be careful to avoid flip-flopping at all costs.

I’m Athene, which is pretty much what I would’ve gone for if asked. 😁

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

Hello folks! Hope you all got the results you wanted and expected for your Classical subjects.

Reminder that, if you didn’t, rather than raging against OCR, you could be proactive and invest in some CPD. Give Eupraxis Education a shout! 😉

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

*next. Bah!

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

To those collecting A Level results today...

I hope you received the marks your efforts merited, and you are happy with your results and confident in your nexts steps.

Ultimately, A Levels are important but they are not everything; you always have options and opportunities.

[Mr Tanner teaches... @eupraxisedu]

Happy birthday to my dear old friend @DocCrom 🎂
