A huge thank you to Natalie Haynes who visited @runshawcollege today to speak with students from the School of English, Languages and Classics. Judging from the questions asked and long queue at the book stall, it was an event enjoyed by all. Thank you Natalie!

I’m not always sure what to say when I’m asked to give careers/life advice, but yesterday I gave these 6th formers my greatest piece of wisdom (sometimes - when you have been crying a lot - you don’t just need a glass of water, you need a bag of crisps as well, for the salt).

Check out the Liverpool Classical Association 2023-24 lecture programme. Such a wonderful lineup (and not because I am included, of course). Classics for All North Reposts are *very* welcome! #classics #egyptology #classicalstudies #greece #rome #wideningparticipation

Here’s a wonderful thread on how to get involved in archaeology. We have a few students every year who are interested in studying archaeology at Uni or just want to know more about. Here’s a bunch of great resources! The local Young Archaeologists in Basingstoke are a fab group!

The new museum at Eleusis tries to recreate some of the multi-sensory experience of being initiated! It’s brilliant. Also couldn’t resist posting some cute animal pictures too ☺️
