During year 12, students undertake the Greek Art module. They are introduced to the fundamental principles of Archaic and Classical sculpture and vase painting, and they study how the culture, beliefs and events of the time shaped the way the ancient Greeks produced and viewed art. During year 13, as part of the Greek religion module, students investigate the role of religion in Greek society through the study of the works of Hesiod and Homer in translation as well as religious sanctuaries such as Olympia and Delphi. The World of the Hero course runs alongside these two modules. In Year 12, students read Homer’s Odyssey in translation and examine the key themes of the epic such as the role of the gods and homecoming. In year 13, they move on to Virgil’s Aeneid in translation and study how the concept of heroism shifts from Greek into Roman culture. Throughout the course, students hone their essay-writing skills, developing sophisticated analysis of Classical literature and material culture and developing perceptive and rational arguments.
A minimum of 7 GCSEs awarded at grade 6 or above. These should include English and Mathematics.
Exams: The World of the Hero, 2hrs20mins. Greek Art, 1hr45mins. Greek Religion, 1hr45mins. Coursework: None
