@judgedreid @classicsforall @TrinityHallCamb It also doesn’t address alleged comments from the admissions director that ‘the best students from such schools [the independent schools being targeted] arrive at Cambridge with expertise and interests that align well with the intellectual demands’ and what that means others

@judgedreid @classicsforall @TrinityHallCamb Thanks for sharing. Sadly that statement doesn’t address issues with the subjects that were named in the memo seen by reporters (great to hear they have WP programme for STEM though).

Really frustrating to see the recent strategy agreed by Trinity Hall to increase targeting of independent schools who are already over-represented. At @classicsforall we are committed to expanding access to Classics at all levels of education.
Classics for All@classicsforall

We’ve published an open letter to Trinity Hall and Cambridge University calling for fair access to Classics. Talent isn’t limited to elite schools – Cambridge can lead the way in widening participation. Read the letter: tinyurl.com/4sam6rp4 @UniofCambridge @TrinityHallCamb

Something excellent to do before Christmas: donate to @classicsforall's #BigGive campaign. £10 buys a child a textbook; £300 (becomes £675 with Gift Aid) buys 2 primary schools a whole day's training to introduce Latin. Please help keep Classics thriving: donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS…
