The Classical Greek Certificate

For current students at LAE Stratford, we offer the Intermediate Certificate in Classical Greek (ICCG), officially recognised as a Qualification Improvement Programme (QIP) by UCAS. This certificate provides students with a unique opportunity to begin learning one of the foundational languages of Western thought.

It is for beginners only and you do not need to have studied any related courses prior to this.

The certificate would appeal most to those who have already taken Latin or Classical Civilisation at GCSE or equivalent but it is very much open to anyone interested!

Studying Classical Greek at this level not only deepens cultural and historical understanding but is also highly regarded by universities for its intellectual rigour and academic value. It’s a subject that really stands out on university applications and shows you're up for an academic challenge.

The classes begin in September 2025 and finish in June 2026. They take place every Wednesday for an hour and a half.

Most people think poker is just a game of luck. It is not. There is some luck, which makes for unpredictable fun, but the best players always come out on top in the long run.

How do they do it?

There's some basic Maths and hand selection issues, but the psychology is possibly the most important factor.

Find out all about this, and have some fun, by joining the poker club next term. Please note - we do not play with real money. We use chips, keep a running score and then there are prizes at the end of each term for the winners.
