Studies into Greek myths took curious students on a tour of Cambridge University.

YEAR 7 students from Burnt Mill Academy, in Harlow, spent a day at the prestigious university’s classics faculty as part of their English studies on
Greek Myths and Northern Lights texts.

They heard a talk about the university’s Greek and Roman statues and had a lesson in the Greek alphabet.

Teacher Penny Simpson said: “The trip to the university provided students with the chance to engage in the texts we have been studying at a deeper level.”

Students took a tour of the colleges and enjoyed a three-course lunch with lecturers and professors.
