Latin

Course summary

Latin offers a stimulating mixture of language work and literature read in the original. As students develop their linguistic skills, they become increasingly confident translating from Latin. At the same time, the greater complexity of the passages tackled allows a deeper exploration of Roman society and culture than was possible at GCSE. Coupled with the in-depth study of set-texts, students thus explore a wide range of topics from the manipulation of religion for political ends to why Romans told each other the legends of early Rome.
