Busy day of work around childcare, w/ a visit to Frogston PS in south Edinburgh to chat with the SLT about possible ancient offerings for pupils!
Rounded off with a Curriculum Imorovement Cycle meeting hosted by @EducationScot, where I'm consulting as a 'Critical Friend' of Classical Language.

Papers done and packing almost complete for #CA2025. Might be packing a couple ancient-themed games in case any delegates find themselves at a loose end on Friday night!
Counts as work, right?! 🤣
(And yes, I'm aware of the Greek script being butchered on the 'Elysium' box!)

Had a great time at the @royalarmouries.bsky.social celebrating the @classicsforall.bsky.social 2025 Impact Awards. Hearing stories of inspirational teachers all over the UK is so heartwarming!
Huge congratulations to Emma Noble from St Ambrose High, for winning the Scottish regional network award!

Took possession today of some old ledgers relating to the @cascotland.bsky.social. For being books of lists & payments, they're really beautiful (some v. elegant penmanship!) It has also been interesting seeing the health of national membership of the CAS over 100 yrs ago.

I've received many enquiries from interested students around the world, which is brilliant. In order for this programme to run, however, our classes must be at a sufficient level to pay our expert tutors fairly. I hope anyone who is still thinking about enrolling will join us!
Time's running out to sign up for our 2025 AV prog. We've received many enquiries, & encourage folks who want to try their hand at ancient languages, in a supportive & friendly environment, to register with us ASAP.
Registration will close soon, and we'll be seeing up our online classes next week.

We are thrilled to announce the opening of our AV2025 Summer programme. This is being timed to run slightly earlier, so as not to clash directly with the Classical Association
Conference in St Andrews.

Really happy to see AV2025 open!
CAS is a small operation, and it's a lot of admin on top of my other jobs: there's always a bit of stress getting the moving parts together.
This is always offset, though, by getting to work with amazing tutors, and seeing students enjoy our courses.

I'm pleased to have played a role in bringing together a scheme which brings together the facilities of independent & higher education institutions, in the service of state school pupils nationwide.
In light of dwindling numbers of Latinists in Scotland, in particular, this is a valuable scheme.

We are proud to introduce a new initiative designed to spur uptake of Latin and/or Classical Studies in Scottish state schools.
SATCS is an unprecendented collaboration between state and independent sectors, offering virtual access to N5, Higher and Adv Higher courses run at The Glasgow Academy.

Please sign and share widely! After the devastating news about the planned cuts at Cardiff, the students have got the ball rolling to save their Ancient History programme. It is a very fine department: student numbers are strong, the staff team is fantastic. There is no rationale. chng.it/G5SMYxNbMQ
