‘Studying Mediterranean antiquity superbly equips individuals to think socio-politically and to persuade other people orally, visually and in writing. It hones transferrable skills like source criticism and culturally relativist analysis. It’s a perfect A level to do with any other subject because the Greeks invented all academic disciplines including Medicine and Material Science. It gets school-leavers and graduates great jobs and gives them nourishing and beautiful brain-food for non-working hours for life.’
Pupils should attain a minimum of a grade 6 in the subjects they wish to study at A level. For some subjects such as Mathematics, Languages and the Sciences however, a grade 7 or above is expected. The minimum entry requirement for the Sixth Form is five GCSE passes.
Component 1: Unseen translations in Latin provide students with the opportunity to showcase their linguistic and interpretive skills by translating a previously unseen passage without prior knowledge. This challenging exercise not only assesses their command of Latin grammar and vocabulary but also hones their ability to comprehend and convey the nuanced meanings embedded in unfamiliar texts. Component 2: Prose composition or comprehension. In the composition paper candidates will be required to translate a short passage of English into Latin prose. For the comprehension paper candidates will answer questions about a passage of Latin prose. Component 3: It is our pleasure to introduce you to the rich and compelling world of Cicero’s oratory, particularly his renowned speech, “Pro Caelio.” In this captivating text, Cicero addresses a complex legal case involving the young and ambitious Clodius Pulcher and his alleged attempt to poison one of Rome’s most distinguished citizens, Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer. Cicero, known for his eloquence and strategic brilliance, takes on the defense of Marcus Caelius Rufus, a rising political figure accused of orchestrating the poisoning. Component 4: We will introduce you to one of the most compelling and enduring works of Latin literature – Book 2 of Virgil’s epic poem, the “Aeneid.” In this literary masterpiece, Virgil transports us to the tragic aftermath of the Trojan War. The narrative unfolds within the city of Troy as it falls to the Greek forces. Aeneas, our hero and the Trojan prince, becomes the central figure as he navigates the destruction of his homeland and sets out on a fateful journey that will eventually lead to the founding of Rome.
