News New Book by Mr Renshaw: The Marathon: An Epic History 10.12.2025
We are very excited at the news that Classics Teacher, Mr James Renshaw, is writing a new book on the history of the marathon race: The Marathon: An Epic History. The book is due to be published by Bloomsbury in Spring 2027.
While he has been teaching, Mr Renshaw has authored a range of educational textbooks and serves as the general editor for the OCR/Bloomsbury suite of endorsed materials for Ancient History and Classical Civilisation at GCSE and A Level. He is now leaving Godolphin to devote himself full-time to writing as well as to pursue other creative and academic projects. This also means that he will be handing over the reigns of our Ancient World Breakfast Club (AWBC) which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. We wish Mr Renshaw every success in the next exciting chapter of his career.
