Latin

In their study of Latin, students will attain a good understanding of sentence structure and will develop their ability to translate Latin into English accurately. The fascinating social background of life in ancient Pompeii encourages students to find out about the characters in the stories and to translate longer passages as time goes on. Students will also build up a bank of vocabulary which will enable them to translate more efficiently and also to recognise derivations of words in English, science and modern foreign languages. There are two lessons a week.
