Abstract

The Warwick Classics Network (WCN) was created in July 2018 with funding from the Warwick Widening Participation Development Fund and the Warwick Impact Fund. Further funding from Widening Participation (WP) and the charity Classics for All secured the continuation of the position of Research Fellow in Outreach and Impact for the Dept. of Classics and Ancient History, a role given to Dr Paul Grigsby; WP funding was also used to cover the expenses of events such as our 2nd July 2018 WCN Launch event and the 2019 Warwick Ancient Drama Festival. For the period April 2019-April 2020 the WCN received further funding from WP, Classics for All, and the A. G. Leventis Foundation, and this report will detail the activities that this funding supported.

Highlights

  • With the help of Classics for All, Classics was introduced to several local Coventry schools in September 2019, these being Barr’s Hill School, President Kennedy School, Stoke Park School, Cardinal Wiseman School, and West Coventry Academy, as well as Lawrence Sheriff School in Rugby

  • With our Roman Coventry project aiming to reach every school in Coventry over the coming year, we are pleased to be continuing this work into 2021 and beyond
