Latin Paper 1: 33% Unseen translation – one prose passage and one verse passage Paper 2: 17% Prose composition (a passage of English to be translated into Latin) or comprehension questions on a passage of Latin) Paper 3: 25% Prose Literature – two texts (one of which was studied in Lower Sixth) Paper 4: 25% Verse Literature – two texts (one of which was studied in Lower Sixth)
Latin A Level requires a GCSE in Latin
Both our subjects are assessed through examinations at the end of two years. In both subjects, students will have a really good idea of how Classics opens up as a subject at university and will be able to see what sort of course might appeal to them, whether it is language based or focusing on ancient history, art, philosophy or archaeology. The knowledge students gain is really interesting but the skills learned in our subjects are valuable in any area of life; analysing texts, producing arguments and empathising with different cultures. The themes studied in ancient texts are still so relevant today; relationships with family and the gods, betrayal, pursuit of power and the impact of war on soldier and civilians.
