GCSE Latin and Greek Literature
Legacy material is now in the Archive. This frees up the main (topmost) area of each page for the new GCSE specification.
AS/A2 Classical Civilisation
We’ve all wanted this for some time. The issue has always been about how to organise the resources to best effect. There are now separate pages for the OCR and AQA specifications, each with its own menu of topics. I’d welcome feedback on this set-up! Important and many thanks are due to Duncan Parry who put several hours of work into helping with this reorganisation.
When Uploading…
From now on, new uploads of AS/A2 Classical Civilisation resources must be very clearly designated BOTH for the correct examination board AND for the correct topic, so that I know where to place the new resource. So, for example, please state something like “AS/A2 Classical Civilisation OCR Virgil and the World of the Hero” as opposed to something more simple but less helpful to me like “Aeneid Book 4″ (please don’t always work on the principle that I’ll know what you’re thinking!!). This detail could apply to every upload, of course – please be as specific as you can, so that I can most easily and quickly add the resources to the right page/topic. This is most important with Classical Civilisation, as you can imagine!
There’s still some spring cleaning to do (Legacy texts for AS/A2 Latin/Greek for example). If you have any suggestions, thoughts or questions on how the resources pages are organised and how we could improve them, please (as always) let me know!

Everybody’s Joining Groups
Everybody’s joining Groups, to take part in discussion and keep up to date with colleagues’ expertise.
The Groups are working brilliantly, as they’re meant to, with new Groups being created all the time. Members have had some very important recent contributions to make on A Level Latin and Classical Civilisation, for example. The latest Group is for teachers of AQA GCSE Classical Civilisation. To view all available Groups to join, click here.
Email Notifications
When you join a Group, you can receive email notifications about what’s happening in that Group (new members, updates, forum dicsussion). You can tweak the sort of email notification you get (you may not want to receive an email every time a new member joins the Group, or perhaps you want to receive information about the Group on a regular but less frequently) by (1) Clicking to the Group page online and then clicking on ‘Notifications’, and then choosing from the available options, or by (2) clicking on the link in your next email from the Group about ‘Notifications’ , which takes you to the relevant page to access the options.
