Free CPD for Teachers: Running Classics School Trips

Taking students to see ancient sites, museums and artefacts in person can be unforgettable. There’s nothing quite like the moment when students see something “live” that they’ve only seen in a textbook.

But we know organising a school trip can feel overwhelming.

Join this free online session hosted by Classics for All designed to support teachers in UK state schools who want to run Classics-related trips.

During the session you’ll:
✨ Hear from three travel companies about the trips they offer in the UK and abroad
✨ Ask questions about planning and logistics
✨ Join primary or secondary teacher discussions led by colleagues who have organised trips in the UK and abroad
✨ Gain practical tips and ideas to help you get started
📅 Register by Friday 6 March 2026 https://bit.ly/4d4O24d
💻 Online event (Zoom details sent after registration)

There is still time to sign up for our Ancient History CPD day at Harrow School on Tuesday 27 January!

Designed to support GCSE and A Level teachers alike, this day offers a range of workshops to support teachers at every stage of career.

Our keynote lecture will be delivered by Dr Campbell Price, curator for Egypt & Sudan at Manchester Museum.

We’ve published an open letter to the Master of Trinity Hall and the Chancellor of Cambridge University calling for fair access to Classics.

Talent and potential for Classics are not confined to elite schools – Cambridge has shown what’s possible through many different widening participation initiatives. We want every college to reflect that commitment.
