Nelson & Colne College: A Level trip to the British Museum (March 2025)

We were kindly offered a full grant by the Classical Association to enable us to make a day trip to London. This is the second time we have been and the extra money meant the trip was this time free. Many of our students come from deprieved areas and do not get many extra curricular oppertunities within their reach.

We were able to visit the British Museum where the students saw sources that we have studied come alive, such as the tombstone of the British procurator Julius Classicianus. We also saw the Parthenon Marbles which we will be studying next year as part of our Athenian depth study.

The students enjoyed their day in what would be an otherwise financially prohibitive daytrip to London.
