Salve! Welcome to the WCN Roman Coventry and Warwickshire Project!

This project aims to bring Coventry and Warwickshire's Roman past to every school and schoolchild in Coventry and Warwickshire, offering equal opportunities to all pupils irrespective of background or ability. You can learn about the background of the project here.

This project brings together staff and students from the University of Warwick with local schools and Museums to create a set of resources for the teaching of Ancient History at KS2 and KS3. If you would like to find out more about the project and how your school can get involved, or want to receive one-to-one advice on using these resources in the classroom, please do get in touch by emailing Dr Paul Grigsby at paul.grigsby@warwick.ac.uk 

Interested in adding more of the Ancient World to your curriculum?

The WCN is a regional hub of Classics for All, a charity which supports the introduction of Classics and Ancient History into schools, be that at KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-level or in the creation of extra-curricular clubs.

We are very excited to be working alongside our sister hub at Birmingham as part of the Birmingham and West Midlands Classics Network. Check our our website for information on introducing Classics, our regional events, teaching resources and more.

Classics for All can offer:

• Advice on introducing more of the ancient world onto your KS2/KS3 curriculum through their bespoke resources, including FREE teacher training.
• Advice on introducing ancient Languages such as Latin or Ancient Greek, with access to FREE resources and FREE teacher training.

• Access to special events and CPDs

If you are interested in any of these, please contact Paul Grigsby at paul.grigsby@warwick.ac.uk.

Using this Project in the Classroom

To complement this project we have developed a suite of Teacher Resources to help with the teaching of Rome and Romans at KS2 and KS3 and to introduce Roman Coventry and Warwickshire as part of enrichment sessions or extracurricular clubs.
