Constantin Meunier was born 12 April 1831. He was inspired by the Parthenon frieze to honour working-class citizens, here miners, in his relief sculptures for the "Monument to Labour" now in Laeken, Brussels.

Arlene and Edith are two powerhouses of classics, especially bringing it to people who havenโ€™t previously had access to it. This is an incredible project of theirs - Iโ€™m thrilled itโ€™s going so well!

In the first year of 6th form. We had an amazing history teacher who heard us discussing brexit and realised a lot of us didn't understand our own government. She took time out of her lesson to teach us about how our government works

This is crummy treatment of students and teachers who have been working hard to pursue a subject that interests and excites them. Iโ€™m sorry the government feels that is something to discourage rather than reward. I hope there are ways to ameliorate the damage done today.
