About Sarah Elliot

Profile Pic 2025

I’m Sarah, an Assistant Head Teacher in a girls’ independent school in South London and a Classics teacher. I learnt Latin at a grammar school in the Wirral in the 1990s and went on to study Classics at the University of Cambridge in the early 2000s.

I completed a PGCE in 2006, and I’ve been working in girls’ independent schools ever since, teaching Classical Civilisation, Latin, and Classical Greek. I obtained a Master’s Degree in Teaching in 2021 and am a member of the Chartered College of Teaching. I enjoy my work and am constantly learning more about the craft of teaching. This blog represents my views and experiences teaching Classics over two decades.
