Our Classics Department are delighted to share their Magazine for 2025, which was shared with all participants at the recent GDST Classics Conference hosted here at Notting Hill.

Here is Editor Alex D’s introduction to the publication:

‘Welcome to the first edition of our new Classics publication, ‘et cetera,’ where we embark on a journey through the rich and fascinating tapestry of the classical world. This collection is the result of thoughtful collaboration and dedication, reflecting the vibrant opinions and talents of the NHEHS Senior Classicists. We hope with this publication to develop pupil voice and leadership, fostering confidence and creativity in expressing ideas about the past. By engaging with the wonders of Antiquity, we aim to widen the knowledge and understanding of the classical world, shedding light on how they continue to shape the world we live in now.

I would also like to say a massive thank you to the teachers of the Classics Department for inspiring all the Senior Classicists, and for giving them the tools, encouragement, and space to explore whatever sparks their curiosity, and to write the brilliant essays featured in this publication. We’re so grateful for your support and dedication!

I hope you enjoy this issue!’
