Kelmscott School: Classics Celebration Day

With the generous support of the Classical Association, the Classics Department at Kelmscott School was able to put on their first annual Classics Celebration Day. 

The day began with a visual welcome from Dame Mary Beard, followed by thought-provoking talks from our guest speakers: Professor Edith Hall, Jasmine Elmer, Caroline Lawrence, Dr Mai Musie, Natalie Haynes, just to name a few. Key Stage Three students had the opportunity to engage in dramatic performances, led by Paul O’Mahony from Out of Chaos Theatre company and Alisa Vanlit from Gladiatrix.

We are very grateful to the CA for supporting state schools like Kelmscott to expand and develop their Classics provisions- thank you!
