I have been in touch with most of you by e-mail today with an update. Please prioritise doing the things that you need to do and keep me posted – and gently prompt me in person or by e-mail about the things I need to do.  Please sign up on the sheet on Ms Doherty's door for a slot (when you don’t have a lesson) to get your form finalized and sent on Thursday. 

I am very sorry to the students below, that I don’t think I am likely to send your forms this coming week.  However, please do talk to me and to your tutor about your application if you would like to.  The tutor team and I are working as rapidly as we can, given other commitments, to get your forms prepared.

If you have not yet paid and sent your form through, please do so soon.  It is important that we get everything done by Christmas.  You can help to speed things up by proof reading your application very carefully, involving friends and parents, and by making sure that you have entered the A Levels/BTECs you are taking this summer as pending for 08/2017. 

Classics talk this Wednesday: Happiness in the Ancient World

This a reminder that this coming Wednesday during Period Five, Professor Roger Crisp is coming to talk about Happiness in the Ancient World.  The talk will look at Aristotle’s ethics and bring out the links between happiness and virtue, with a little on the Socratic and Platonic background.

He is also going to come in in time for lunch, so that he is available to talk to anyone who is interested about studying Philosophy at university.

This talk will be of special interest to those studying Classics and Philosophy, but all are welcome to attend. If you would like to attend the talk and/or to meet with Professor Crisp over lunch to talk about studying Philosophy more generally, please let me know.
