If you ask : what is the value of the humanities? I would say that it teaches you to read with acuity, to analyse wild claims, to argue responsibly to questions to which there are no right answers. Do we need the humanities? Let’s hear it for yes!!!

I am very proud that the campaign I launched with Professor Arlene Holmes-Henderson MBE in 2017 to get the ancient Greeks and Romans into state secondary education is connected with a massive increase in take-up in GCSEs and A-Levels in Classical Civilisation & Ancient History recently.
