The major objective of the course is to encourage a deeper understanding of the Roman world and its values by reading the original sources in Latin, supplemented by reading additional material in translation. Topics covered include Roman comedy, oratory, poetry and history. We attend relevant lectures, trips to classical plays and other events. Our Latin students often have the opportunity to take part in an educational study trip to Greece to widen their classical education; the trip is a desirable but not a compulsory part of the course and proves very popular with students. The cost of trips can vary from year to year, but we will always pursue value for money.
Students require at least Grade 7 in GCSE Latin to study the subject at A Level.
