Dean Close has a vibrant and academically high-achieving Classics Department. A Level and GCSE results are always excellent and the department also boasts an impressive record of Oxbridge success. Members of the department are very well qualified and are committed to the dissemination of the cultures of Greece and Rome. Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation are all offered at both GCSE and A Level. It is our proud vaunt that the national decline in these subjects has been reversed at Dean Close through sound teaching and a commitment to making the ancient world accessible via theatre performances, museum visits, a programme of lectures given by eminent Classicists and the biennial Classics trip. We have visited Greece, Turkey, mainland Italy and Sicily – Easter 2012 will see the department return to Greece.
