Latin occupies a major place in the history of world culture, as it was the central language of the Roman Empire, which stretched from Britain to the boundaries of modern India at its height. Through Latin, we can gain an understanding of the impact of Roman culture and thus its considerable legacy, and we can access a wealth of rich literature. Latin is the essential root of modern Romance languages. To study Latin is to be both fascinated and to be inspired, as have been so many of the historians, politicians and authors of the last two millennia.
The A Level course is a direct continuation of GCSE and assumes a knowledge of the Latin vocabulary and grammar prescribed for the GCSE course (a 6 at GCSE is desirable).
