We've just finished an excellent Creativity Week introducing the Year 7 forms to the classical world through five sessions: the Roman world, the Latin language, Pompeii and archaeology, Greek myth, and the Roman army. Now time to lay down our shields for half term! @DartfordGS

Today we took a school group to the National to see their gripping new production of Euripides' Bacchae (also the debut of their new artistic director, Indhu Rubasingham), followed by a visit to their current exhibition: 'The Greeks: Radical Reinvention'. @DartfordGS

An enjoyable session of KS4 Classics Club, opened by one of our Year 11s with the eternal question: which social media would each Olympian god have used, and what would they have been posting? 🤔 @DartfordGS

Many thanks to our keen Latinists for making yesterday's Open Evening so enjoyable in the Classics Department! Hopefully it was as much fun for the prospective parents and students as it was for us. @DartfordGS

Rome 2025 - Day 1: Carb fuelled and tackling the Roman heat, we made it to the Pantheon, which never fails to amaze, as well as the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain...they'll certainly sleep well tonight! Bring on the Colosseum tomorrow! @DartfordGS

Athens Trip - Day 4: We had quite the adventure at Delphi, exploring the home of the Oracle, and Zeus even sent down a special thunderstorm just for us! Then we had a last night to remember, eating and dancing away the evening in a traditional Greek taverna 🇬🇷 @DartfordGS

Athens Trip - Day 3: Today we saw the treasures of the National Archaeological Museum, and, as if we hadn't done enough exercise yet, held our very own races at the Panaethenaic Stadium! We spent the evening at the stunning Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion @DartfordGS

Athens Trip - Day 2: From far away to up close and personal, we made our way to the Acropolis of Athens to see the Parthenon, Erectheion, and more! We also visited the Agoras, both Athenian and Roman, and topped the day off with some delicious ice cream! @DartfordGS

Athens Trip - Day 1: Our first day was a great success, we're all safely in Athens, and enjoyed a small (read: long and steep) walk up to the Lycabettus viewing point to see the Acropolis from afar...seeing it up close is our mission today! @DartfordGS


A very enjoyable trip into London yesterday to see Sophocles' Elektra with terrific performances from Brie Larson in the title role and Stockard Channing as Clytemnestra. 🇬🇷 @DartfordGS

We're so grateful to Dr Jerry Toner from Churchill College, Cambridge, for offering his time today to speak to our students and wider school community on 'Finding Ordinary Romans'. The student session and lecture were terrific and really enthused our students. @DartfordGS

You don’t often get to see a group of marching Roman soldiers intersecting a game of fußball on the junior playground…it’s been great seeing Y7 throw themselves into their Latin and German language tasters this week 🇩🇪🏛️🏺@DartfordGS @DGSClassics @DGS_MFL #CreativityWeek2024
