Professor Arlene Holmes-Henderson MBE

Thank you to the @Classical_Assoc and all the wonderful colleagues in schools, charities, prisons, museums, subject associations and policy organisations with whom I have collaborated.

This is recognition of our #collective successes.

And the awards ceremony is being hosted in #Newcastle! 😳🤷🏼‍♀️

How very disappointing that not a single institution in the North East of England has been shortlisted for the @PraxisAuril Knowledge Exchange UK awards.

The gulf of recognition widens…

I am thrilled to share the news that TWO new #Classics #Education projects at @durham_uni have been funded by philanthropic donors.

In 2026-2028 I’ll work with @jessbisc on #Greek in #schools and with @AlexImrie23 on #Classics #Education in #Scotland.

A real ‘pinch me’ moment, launching 3 of my 2026 books at a parliamentary reception in the House of Lords yesterday. I summarised 350,000 words in 6 minutes!
