Subjects
Latin
The Latin department aims to give every pupil an opportunity to appreciate the wealth of culture available to us from the Ancient World. Teaching will focus on the Latin language as a parent of several modern European languages and as a medium for providing insight into the structure of language in general. Students will be encouraged at every level to draw conclusions from their learning, both in the area of language derivation and in response to cultural issues.
GCSE
The OCR course builds upon all the skills introduced and practised in years 8 and 9. It enables students to have a richer appreciation of their own society and culture by gaining a deeper insight into the Romans.
Sixth Form
A Level Latin is an engaging and satisfying subject in its own right and is an invaluable support to degree courses in English, History and Modern Languages. It is well regarded by admission tutors for Medicine and Law, since the precision of approach, linguistic basis for technical terms and the humanitarian element add a useful breadth to any A levels specified for the course. Its analytical and broad approach to study has also been found to provide a sound basis for courses and careers in Finance and Management.
