GCSE Delivery and Support
We currently run many programmes across Merseyside funded by the charity organisation Classics For All.
- GCSE Latin: Available for schools across Merseyside
- GCSE and AS-Level Ancient Greek

These programmes are perfect for schools new to ancient-world subjects or to supplement existing courses.
Liverpool Study of Ancient Worlds
Short courses available focusing on ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt
- Topics include history, archaeology, literature and culture
- Designed for Key Stage 3 students, with some content suitable for older audiences
The courses follow a Learn, Practice, Reflect structure with the option for students to deliver group presentations or debate key issues to evidence their learning.
Students can choose subjects of interest and combine ‘mini-modules’ to create a personal record of ancient-world studies, recognised by the University with a certificate. For details of course content, please see the links below.
