This would be a great opportunity for the first step into curriculum leadership, or indeed for experienced leaders.
@RiverAcReading is a very special place and every day is nothing less than joyful.
Come and see!

It has been fantastic to see the final outcome of our Year 8 Classics elective last term: 'The Odyssey without Odysseus'.
Part of these 'tapestry' squares were designed by our students and it will go on display at @RHULClassics!

Our students loved the academic challenge of learning more about mythology and Greek myth and they've all become big fans of Penelope! Thank you to the Classics department and Mollie Legg for the opportunity!
