Ancient Greek Success

Ancient Greek Success
Three pupils were recently awarded Distinctions for their Intermediate Certificates in Classical Greek (ICCG).
 
To be awarded this grade, pupils needed to have scored at least 90% in an exam that stretched not only their ability to successfully read ancient Greek script, but also to understand its vocabulary and grammar, and to successfully translate from it.
 
Congratulations to Max C-T, Libby B and Amog M B - these are very impressive accomplishments to have made, especially as all the work they did in preparation for their final assessment was done as part of an after-school activity.
 
Very few schools throughout not just Wales, but also the UK, offer ancient Greek to their pupils - if anyone is interested in learning this fascinating language, then come along to W4 after school on a Tuesday, and join Mr Drury and his new class of ancient Greek enthusiasts.
