5 Day Latin Summer School 2023

GCSE Latin intensive course in language skills over 5 days to any student who, having completed 1, 2 or 3 years of study, is preparing for the GCSE level qualification or equivalent. We would expect candidates to have just completed Year 10, and are due to sit their GCSE examinations in June 20243. The course is ideal for any student who is finding some aspects of the language component of the course difficult, and is keen to tighten up and refine their grammatical knowledge.

The sessions are delivered by highly qualified Classicists who are also experienced teachers, keen on making Latin accessible to more people, and to refine and secure Latin understanding through disciplined rigour and fun!

By the end of the course, students will not only be able to comfortably understand the core linguistic grammatic detail of Latin syntactical constructions, but also be able to recognise and translate them when disguised in a GCSE Latin unseen passage. Students will leave with a considerably greater confidence in reading the language which, among other things, will directly benefit public examination performance as well as a greater alertness to a wider range of aspects of the Classical world.

This course ran from Monday 31st July through to Friday 4th August 2023.
