Latin

Course summary

Latin is a highly-prized academic subject. The course builds on the knowledge, skills and understanding established at GCSE. The Latin specification teaches the language skills which enable learners to read both prose and verse texts in the original language. The course aims to inspire, motivate and challenge by encouraging students to read widely and to develop the critical analysis skills with which to engage sensitively in and evaluate an ancient language. Students can choose to study Latin for 1 or 2 years. All examinations take place in the Summer term.
