What a fantastic day at @KelmscottSchool School on Fri 3 Oct! We delivered a full day of GCSE Greek language workshops & were welcomed so warmly. The students were outstanding, showing dedication, resilience, & hard work throughout the day. Well done, all! 💙 @KelmClassDept

@rjblackmore1 Thank you for your very kind message. We are delighted that your daughter has done so well in her Latin GCSE - what a stunning achievement! 💙

@ELCSS2 Thank you so much @ELCSS2 - my daughter attended your Easter revision school, she studies Latin as an extracurricular subject in a south London Comprehensive, expected a grade 7 and achieved a grade 9 today!

Lots of luck to all our ELCSS students receiving results tomorrow! 💙
