Allerton Grange School: An Audience with Jennifer Saint
Allerton Grange School in Leeds were awarded a grant to host an audience with best-selling author Jennifer Saint in order to raise the profile of the study of Classics amongst students, parents and the local community. Jennifer has brought to life the untold stories of women from Greek mythology in her books Ariadne, Elektra, Atalanta and Hera.
Jennifer delivered assemblies to Years 7, 8 and 9 on ‘Ancient Myth in the Modern World’ where she focused on how mythology and the ancient world can still be seen all around us and is relevant to the present day. She also ran a lecture on Theseus to GCSE students and had conversations about the classical world with A Level students.
In addition, we held ‘An audience with Jennifer Saint’ in the evening for parents and members of the wider school community to attend.
