i am trying to decide what subjects to study at A-level to give me the most chances of success, would classical civilisation be a good subject to get into Law at Oxford?

Yes.
My ideal subject combination for law would definitely be English , History and Philosophy.
English , History , Philosophy
English, History , Classics
But the best you can really have is English, History and Mathematics.
You CANNOT go wrong with those three subjects as they are all traditional and highly valued in Law.
English for the interpretation and analysis from literature that is so important for Law, History for again, analysis and making judgments on the past and present by understanding the reasons for a certain event to happen and finally Mathematics to allow you to critically reach solutions by problem solving the most efficacious of equations to improve your critical thinking skills.
History, English, Geography, Latin, would be good subjects.
