Latin (GCSE):
Students will follow a supported study course in the basic grammar and vocabulary for one year, then if they choose to continue, they will devote the second year to the set texts and background information needed to pass the AQA exam.
Learning Latin remains a valuable part of any academic education. As well as the discipline of understanding an ancient language, the GCSE course offers an introduction to the great literature and civilisation of the classical world.
The Examination consists of two papers:
* Paper 1 (2hrs) - Unseen Translation and
Comprehension, Prose Set Texts, Civilisation.
* Paper 2 (1hr 45 mins) - Comprehension, Verse,
Set Text.
