Classics

Children begin Latin as a language from Year 6.  From Year 7, pupils who have an interest and aptitude for the subject will continue with it through to Common Entrance or scholarship.  Greek can be taken as a timetabled subject in Year 7 and 8 for those sitting scholarship exams.

Children of all abilities enjoy learning an appropriate portion of the ancient languages and to tap quickly into the myths, characters and creations of these amazing civilizations as well as understanding the root of so many words in English.

We are one of very few prep schools to still teach these two subjects to a high standard and we have an excellent scholarship and Common Entrance record in both Latin and Greek.
