Latin

Course summary

The approach over the two sixth-form years and the format of the A-level examinations are similar in both languages. A wider experience of language and literature work is offered, together with some exploration of the cultural background. A balance is struck between a sympathetic literary approach and accurate translation work. Unseen translation of a variety of passages is tackled alongside a programme of grammatical consolidation which ensures that pupils feel secure in their ability to translate to and from the ancient languages.
