Primary Schools
Pupils at Key Stage 2 must study a foreign language, but this can include Latin or ancient Greek, not just modern languages.
Why study Latin ?
- provides a great foundation for the later study of French or Spanish.
- supports English literacy across the curriculum by enhancing grammatical understanding and insight into the origins of words,
- dovetails with other areas of the curriculum, such as KS2 History and the study of Roman Britain.
- Primary Latin is fun and accessible to all.
We offer FREE training for primary teachers/assistants to learn to teach either the Minimus course or Maximum Classics - no previous Latin knowledge is required.
Secondary Schools
Classics has something for everyone and for all abilities at secondary.
Latin/Greek can be taught in all key stages and exams are available at GCSE and A Level, as well as an entry level Latin qualification. Both meet the language requirement for the EBacc.
Classics and Ancient History stimulate interests in many areas including history and literature and can be taken up at any level.
At KS3 we work with English, History or MFL departments to introduce Classics clubs, modules of myth or epic, Greek drama & theatre, Language clubs or ancient history topics.
We offer FREE training for teachers/assistants to learn to teach Latin, Ancient Greek, Classical Civilisation or Ancient History - no previous classical knowledge is required
