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!

Our friends at @OpenUniversity have announced a number of funded MA studentships in Classical Studies. https://t.co/fC8K36UsvU These may be of interest to any teachers looking to accredit in Classical Studies with the GTCS, so we hope you'll follow the link and have a look!

Ancient Voices proudly remains one of the most affordable ways to dip a toe with something new, or to consolidate on prior learning in ancient languages. We will continue to offer these classes for as long as there is interest, and so we encourage people to sign up!

More info is available on the website, but it is worth noting our sliding price plan for these units. Our classes are designed to avoid timetable clashes and allow folks to take multiple streams. Classes are therefore priced: 1 x Stream: £70 2 x Streams: £130 3 x Streams: £180

Our cultural/blended units will focus one on the cultures of central Anatolia, and another on 'Dionysiac Revelry' in antiquity and beyond. This is our most diverse programme yet, and so we hope plenty of you will join us online to have fun and learn something new!

This year marks another development in the programme. We constantly try to bring tuition in languages that are not widely taught. We are also expanding the study of ancient cultures, and we're (again) running a course for school leavers, dedicated to demystifying university life.

Since its inception, we have tried hard to make the AV programme truly accessible to communities around the globe who might otherwise lack access to Classics. We have also tried to retain as low a price point as possible, since we believe that money should prevent access.

The scheme is backed by CAS, with further scope for assistance from @classicsforall, is designed to function with no overhead considerations for the pupil or their home school. We hope that you will share this among your friends and colleagues who might have interested pupils!

The scheme is designed to allow access to courses that would be impossible in the pupils' home school, with colleagues at Edinburgh Uni providing access to a shared Teams platform. Classes and materials from TGA will be uploaded, with live weekly sessions on top.

We're proud to introduce a new initiative to spur uptake of Latin and Classical Studies in Scottish state schools. SATCS is an unprecendented collaboration between state & independent sectors, offering virtual access to N5, Higher & Adv Higher courses at Glasgow Acad.

Wonderful to see @MrBaker79AD taking up his position as an Expert in Residence with @Classical_Assoc. The post is correct on his love of Horace, but he has also been a stalwart figure in nurturing Classics 'north o' the border' for years now.
