Our students from @RGSNewcastle have absolutely loved this project, especially Friday’s event. Thanks so much to everyone for organising @ClassicsNorth Fab to see @KathrynTempest too!

[Classics for All North @ClassicsNorth]

A brilliant trial against Verres at #ClassicsFest @litandphil for 'Corruption in the Spotlight.' Feedback from teachers and students has been overwhelmingly positive, with one teacher saying it should be mandatory watching for the CCiv modules!

[NRGS Classics @rgs_classics]

So proud of all our Year 7 students @RGSNewcastle who took part in the @Caecilius_CLC Ovid Competition and special congrats to
Ellie D (Winner: Animation),
Keren A (Runner Up: Creative Writing) and

We have crossed the Corinth Canal and so left the Peloponnese and are one step closer to home. On to the airport! 🇬🇷✈️

[NRGS Classics @rgs_classics]

All on board our coach to the airport. Saying “farewell” to this beautiful place is especially difficult after such a stunning final location and such an incredible trip experience.
Just in time for a Year 10 Greek class photo.
