Part 2 of Classics Club’s end of term celebrations - a Saturnalia party featuring grapes, ‘wine’ (ribena!) and teachers and prefects serving the students! Great way to finish the term. #WeFosterJoy #Saturnalia #Classics

Some highlights of Year 8’s recent project on gladiators, featuring model amphitheatres and helmets, posters advertising shows and some Top Trumps! #IgnitingCuriosity #WhereGirlsLearnWithoutLimits

We loved meeting so many prospective pupils and parents on Open Day and telling them all about Latin and CC at NWC. Pictured: Students and staff creating leaves decorated with Latin derivations in modern English. #WhereGirlsLearnWithoutLimits #IgnitingIntellectualCuriosity

Year 9 have just arrived at the British Museum for their Maths and Classics trip today! @NWC_Maths #WhereGirlsLearnWithoutLimits

@NWC_Head @NWC_Innovation @NorthwoodGDST Amazing work, Mrs Hughes!

We’re so excited to get Classics club started again next week with our Classics prefect Sunetra after a great Clubs Fair today! #Classics #IgnitingIntellectualCuriosity

This morning, we remembered Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in our Senior School Assembly. We reflected upon her life and reign, and gave thanks for her service and dedication to our country.

Many congratulations to Mili on her amazing GCSE results, and also to the rest of Year 11 👏🏻 We’re so proud. #GDSTResults #Classics #gcseresultsday2022

So thrilled for Pari, who has worked so hard in both Latin and Classical Civilisation over the last two years and achieved amazing results. UCL are incredibly lucky. #ClassicsTwitter #AlevelResultsDay2022

Well done, NWC Year 13s! 🎉🙌🏻Excellent results and so well deserved. A special shout out to our lovely Classicists for their fantastic results - we’re so proud! #AlevelResultsDay2022

@NWC_Innovation Happy birthday Mrs Hughes 🎉

Our lovely Year 13 Classicists bought us a ‘thank you and farewell’ Chinese today, as well as this amazing card. We will miss each of you greatly and have no doubt that you will be high-flying, trailblazers at university. Stay in touch! #NWCFamily #WeFosterJoy

Can’t wait to read such a fascinating array of articles from my inspirational colleagues - thank you so much for putting this together @NWC_Innovation !#ShapingFutureEducation

Wow! A really interesting reworking of Oedipus the King AND Antigone, interweaving Sophocles’ original Greek lines with new English ones. Our students can’t stop talking about it! @KingsGreekPlay #WeIgniteCuriosity

Some of our sixth form who are off to @KingsGreekPlay along our Year 10s today! Can’t wait to see it. #Classics #PlagueAtThebes

Such a useful day, thank you @GoogleForEdu and @GDST 👍🏻 loved #WeEmbraceInnovation

Year 10 were treated to specialist guest mini-lectures by Year 12 Classicists on different aspects of the Odyssey today. Lots of impactful discussions, as well as general chat and advice about Class Civ GCSE! #Classics #NWC #WhereGirlsLearnWithoutLimits

Had such a blast on this excellent trip! Now the girls can really visualise the defensive and strategic features of Medieval castles #WhereGirlsLearnWithoutLimits

Discovered on a Classics Facebook group - a very creative individual has taken inspiration from Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ to rewrite Priam’s appeal to Achilles in Book 24 of the Iliad. Definitely one to get the students performing! #Classics #ClassicsTwitter #Iliad
