Latin at A Level follows the same broad pattern as it does at GCSE, with a mixture of language and literature. The extensive study of literature of different genres allows pupils to develop sophisticated grammatical, historical and literary criticism skills, and to reach into the heart of the ancient world through sublime literature. It fosters skills such as the ability to analyse, to defend an opinion, to argue, to present views, to write articulately and deal with complex primary sources. Students will read two set texts: poetry by Catullus and Cicero’s Pro Cluentio. There is no writing of Latin required in any part of the course. The emphasis is all on reading, understanding and appreciating the literature of the Romans in its many forms. At the end of the course you should have developed valuable analytical and communication skills and achieved some familiarity with works of literature which lie at the heart of western European culture. Latinists go on to read a range of courses at university from various classical combinations to Medicine, Law, Modern Languages, Philosophy, Land Economy, History and English Literature.
