Have you enjoyed learning Latin and studying ancient literature? Latin at A Level builds on the skills acquired at GCSE. We read, discuss and enjoy a wide range of literature, examining it as a living reminder of what made ancient, educated Romans really tick. If you have an innate sense of the language itself, then the linguistic element in particular will appeal to you. Latin remains a particularly highly considered A Level of great academic value.
Your GCSE studies will have prepared you for the study of Latin. The skills of literary criticism which you have learned in your study of verse literature will be applicable to any text you study. However, you need to enjoy the discussion of literature for its own sake and be able to express your ideas both verbally and on paper. In addition, you should have a fairly secure knowledge of the grammar studied at GCSE, though you will have ample opportunity to improve your knowledge of this in the lessons. You should have gained at least a grade 7 in Latin GCSE.
There will be four papers. Language (50%): Two papers of unseen prose translation into English and a comprehension task. Literature (50%): Two papers of prose and verse set texts. Answering questions to show understanding and appreciation of the texts. Includes some translation, comprehension and analysis of literary style, argument and characterisation.
