DE FINIBUS
age quod agis
quam maximam operam damus ut:
- linguas mortuas antiquosque cultus in vitam revocemus
- aetatem nostram superioribus spectandis intellegamus
- in ludo ludamus
- ingeniosissimas linguam litterasque Latinas (et interdum Graecas) quam severissime doceamus
- per varietatem tamen omnibus occasionem excellendi demus
- gradum quemque et finem et viam ad proximum faciamus
- fiduciam, doctrinam, diligentiam incitemus
AIMS
Whatever you do…do it well
We strive our utmost:
- to bring dead languages and ancient civilisations to life
- to understand our own age by looking at past ages
- to bring fun to the classroom
- to teach Latin (and sometimes Greek) language and literature to the most academically gifted with the utmost rigour
- yet through variety to give to all the chance to shine
- to make each stage both an end in itself and a path to the next
- to instil confidence, learning and precision
Latin is studied by all pupils in Years 7 and 8. We have our own friendly Year 7 Latin Book which includes illustrations and stories from the pupils themselves and then follow The Oxford Latin Course. Latin is a popular option in Year 9 and for GCSE, AS and A2. There is a Junior Greek Club and the chance to study Greek to GCSE and beyond as an extra-curricular subject.
