Latin is the study of the language and literature of the Romans. We read a variety of fascinating texts, encountering the rhetorical brilliance of Cicero’s defence of Caelius to the sublime poetry of Virgil. The A Level is balanced between the disciplines of translation and literary analysis. Students who enjoyed the blend of language and literature at GCSE will enjoy the A Level which similarly combines translation and comprehension of unseen passages with the literary study of a range of authors whose work has had a profound influence on Western culture.
A typical academic profile of a girl entering Year 12 is 10 GCSEs, with the majority in grades 7 to 9. These must include English and Mathematics at Grade 6 or above AND at least a Grade 7 in those subjects you wish to study at A Level (Grade 9 in Mathematics to study Further Mathematics). At least Grade 7 in Latin GCSE.
Component 1: Unseen Translation and Comprehension (prose and verse) Component 2: Prose Comprehension or Composition. Component 3: The set texts are: Cicero’s ‘Pro Caelio’, Tacitus ‘Annals’ and Pliny’s ‘Letters’. Component 4: The set texts are: Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’, Juvenal’s ‘Satires’ and Ovid’s ‘Fasti’.
