Latin A Level is taught in small classes and by specialist teachers. Our students enjoy annual trips to university study days and lectures. Students read a wide range of literature – both verse and prose and through this will gain a deep understanding of life and culture of the ancient world. In Year 12 students visit Rome on our study tour and see an exciting selection of monuments and the ancient capital. This includes dining at the British School in Rome where they also attend an evening lecture. The programme of study days and trips that we provide is designed to take our students far beyond what is required for the final exam and give them an insight into why we are so passionate about this exciting subject.
For new students, entry to the Sixth Form is dependent on GCSE grades, an interview with the Headmaster and a school reference. To enter our Sixth Form and be successful, we like to see grade 7s in the GCSE subjects a student wishes to take at A Level (8s for Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths) or in relevant subjects, with at least six grades 6s overall. We also accept students onto BTEC Sport and Exercise Science plus one A Level. For this combination we like to see at least six grade 5s at GCSE overall, with a 7 in a relevant subject for the A Level. Below this attainment level, it is likely that we are not the right match for a student, although we are happy to discuss exceptional circumstances.
Students sit written exams on unseen and seen texts. They are expected to demonstrate skill in translation, comprehension and literary analysis. There is also an optional element of prose composition.
