Students at Lionheart with CLC1

Classics for All offers teachers flexible support to introduce or develop a classical subject sustainably on the curriculum. 

While some schools come to us for support, we also work with our regional classics networks to target schools in areas of low social mobility. This ensures that pupils in schools with no tradition of classics benefit from the programme. 

“Exploring the roots of Latin words empowered pupils who struggle with language. It was as if they could see the formula behind some words.” Kathleen McGillycuddy, Broad Oak School, Weston-Super-Mare 

  • Classics for All was founded in 2010 to reverse the decline in the teaching of classics in state schools. Our vision is that all pupils in state schools across the UK should have the opportunity to study classical subjects, regardless of their ability or background. In our impact reports, we explain how we approach our work, our progress to date and our plans for the future. The reports draw on data that we collect regularly from pupils, teachers and schools, as well as research we commission to measure our impact.
