GCSE Classical Greek vocabulary lists
OCR’s Defined Vocabulary List is every word students must know for the Classical Greek GCSE language paper. Here is each list in full, with every meaning, checked accent by accent.
Exams up to summer 2027
Defined Vocabulary List: For Assessment between 2018 and 2027
409 words, with their meanings and word types, grouped by letter and searchable.
Where these lists come from
Both lists are OCR’s, published for teachers on OCR’s GCSE Classical Greek planning and teaching page. We imported each one from OCR’s own spreadsheet:
- Exams from summer 2028: gcse_class_greek_dvl_rvl_v1.4.xlsx (OCR version 1.4)
- Exams up to summer 2027: gcse_class_greek_dvl_rvl_v1.5.xlsx (OCR version 1.5)
We show OCR’s words and meanings as published, apart from a handful of corrections to the Greek (listed on each list’s page) and text-encoding repairs. Word types are our addition. GCSE Greek is not affiliated with or endorsed by OCR; the lists are © OCR, and OCR’s page always has the official version.
Which list do my students need?
It depends on the summer they sit the exam.
- Exams from summer 2028: Defined Vocabulary List: For First Assessment Summer 2028 (411 words)
- Exams up to summer 2027: Defined Vocabulary List: For Assessment between 2018 and 2027 (409 words)
On GCSE Greek, each class practises the list for its exam year. Words that are on both lists count as the same word, so a class that moves to the newer list keeps its progress on everything that hasn’t changed.
