Studying Latin at A level offers students the opportunity to gain further insights into the motives and aspirations of the Romans. In addition to improving linguistic skills, it develops a student’s ability to analyse and evaluate information from the evidence of the written word. Students practise expressing themselves with precision and achieving fluency in the use of argument. These are the communication skills that employers value so much. Arrangements are made to attend lectures on relevant topics and students are encouraged to take advantage of the theatre trips arranged to support the tragedy option of the Classical Civilisation syllabus. The annual Classics trip abroad is also extremely popular and has included visits to Greece, Sicily, Pompeii and Rome. It is no exaggeration to say that Latin is very highly regarded at university. Latinists have ended up doing Law at Oxford, French and Russian at Cambridge and Medicine at Exeter.
