Latin A level attracts students who are intellectually ambitious and curious about the linguistic and cultural legacy of the Romans. Latin has been an integral part of western education since the fall of the Roman Empire for good reason: nothing will make you think harder about how language works, why we should care about the Romans, and what makes the modern world tick. What Latin at an advanced level will offer you is wonderful variety: one moment you will be methodically decoding the intricate syntax of a perfectly crafted hexameter verse in Virgil’s Aeneid; the next you will be constructing arguments for the political sensibilities of Virgil and his relationship with the first emperor of Rome, Augustus.
We require external students joining STAHS to achieve a minimum of grade 6 in Maths and English, alongside the grade requirements in relevant GCSEs for their chosen A levels. Grade 7 or above in GCSE Latin.
