Latin
(OCR)
Latin helps pupils to think logically and gives them the skills that they need to analyse
literature and delve deeper into the complexities of the English language. Latin complements
subjects such as English Literature, History, Theology and even Maths.The course builds upon
the skills acquired at GCSE, while taking pupils to the next level in terms of translation and
appreciation of the wonders of Latin literature.
There are four papers:
• Unseen translation – Latin to English.
• Prose composition (English to Latin) or Comprehension.
• Prose Literature – Cicero (Pro Milone) and Tacitus (Annals I).
• Verse Literature – Virgil (Aeneid VIII or X).
All assessment is by examination – there are no coursework modules.
Entry requirements:
Grade 7 at GCSE.
