Kelmscott School Workshop 2026

GCSE Greek Literature workshop 30.01.26

Our Greek Literature workshop at Kelmscott School last Friday was a great success and a thoroughly rewarding day of study. The students were outstanding throughout: diligent, focused, hardworking, and truly made of stern stuff. They engaged seriously with challenging material and approached each task with maturity, curiosity, and resilience.

The session took a holistic approach to the full specification, helping students to see how the different elements of the course fit together. We then focused in detail on the extended 8- and 10-mark questions, exploring effective strategies for planning, structuring, and supporting high-level responses. The day concluded with a guided look through a full examination paper, allowing students to apply these techniques in a realistic and supportive context.

Students were also provided with a range of practical resources to support their ongoing study, including laminated storyboards, exam tips and revision strategies, a take-home booklet, and even a goodie bag to continue their learning beyond the workshop!

We are extremely grateful to Kelmscott School for such a warm and generous welcome. Particular thanks go to the staff, who looked after us superbly throughout the day with much-appreciated coffee and biscuits, as well as a delicious fish and chip dinner! Their hospitality contributed greatly to the positive atmosphere of the workshop.

It was a real pleasure to work with such committed students and supportive staff, and we look forward to the possibility of working with Kelmscott School again in the future.
