Latin

The Latin curriculum aims

not only to equip students with a linguistic competence that will enable them to translate, interpret and appreciate Latin texts (thereby developing grammatical and etymological decoding skills that are highly prized and transferable) but also to instil a cultural capital usually reserved for the privileged (Latin is only taught in 2.7% of state schools), thereby providing the confidence and desire for engagement with the historical, political and cultural foundations of the Western world.

The study of Latin is about acquiring understanding of the Latin language and the related ancient literature, values and society. Studying Latin at GCSE level will allow learners to develop their knowledge of Latin vocabulary, morphology and syntax so that they can read and understand unseen passages of Latin.
