There are multiple classes within Classics. We tailor the subjects explored to the age group, but the real focus is to explore ancient history in a fun and engaging way no matter your age!

Joining the 7 – 11 years old class?
Learn about the languages and lifestyles of the Ancient Greeks and Romans with our fun and engaging Classics course. You will learn to write the Ancient Greek alphabet, how to translate Harry Potter spells and how to become a great Roman leader by following the example of the Emperor Augustus. All of this and more as we dive into a world of thousand-year-old mysteries, examine ancient texts and dig up objects which have been hidden away for centuries.

Joining the 11 – 14 years old class?
Use the stories and languages of the ancient world to journey back in time and explore a world of mountain-dwelling gods, bloodthirsty gladiators and heroic warriors. In these classes we will explore the weird and wonderful ancient world by delving into myths and legends which have survived for thousands of years.

Learn how the inventions of the ancient world have inspired life today and meet the people who made the ancient world so exciting: Pythagoras, Spartacus, Cleopatra and more! Along the way, you will gain key skills which will help with many of your other subjects including languages, Maths, Sciences and History.

Please note:

• If a class with exactly the same name is on more than once a week it is a repeat lesson with the same content. As places are limited and so you don’t have duplicate lessons please only sign up for the one class per week. This will leave spaces for other customers and stop any additional cost to yourself as we will be unable to give a refund.
• On occasions we may have to change the day or time of a course or on rare occasions the course is cancelled. This maybe due to a teacher leaving or low numbers. We do try to do this only when absolutely necessary and will always give advance warning and try to offer an alternative for you.
• Standard classes are £3 and numbers are limited to 40. Smaller classes (e.g, GCSE) are £6 are per student and classes are kept smaller at 25 maximum. If there is more than 1 child joining a £6 class you need to make sure you have added the correct amount to your basket. We reserve the right to ask for back payments if this does not happen.
• For safeguarding purposes, every Zoom lesson includes a brief visual registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on and their correct name (the one used on their LLP child profile) displayed on Zoom. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange a password for them to use instead.
• We are now offering some courses as pre recorded lessons in topic blocks on llpextralearningspace.co.uk This then allows you to buy previous lessons in topic packs either for revision purposes or to do a topic yourselves. We recognise that this will have some issues for those that do not wish to be on camera so the new format of the class is that the visual register and any informal discussions happen before and after the lesson itself is recorded. The teachers will all have their settings set to speaker view so that the thumbnail of whoever is speaking will only be highlighted when or if they speak. If you do not want your child to appear in the recording it is your responsibility to ensure the camera is switched off after the visual register unless they have an agreed password then it can remain switched off at all times.
