Latin
Course Information for Latin
At Burntwood, Latin is taught as an extra curriculum lesson at lunchtime and before and after school. Students follow the Cambridge Latin Course, using resources provided by the Cambridge School Classics Project at the University of Cambridge.
The course combines a lively Latin narrative based on historical events in the Roman world with vivid illustrations and discussion of the social, political and religious life of the Romans.
In Year 10, students may choose to continue their study of Latin to GCSE, giving them an additional qualification that is well regarded by many universities. Latin may also be studied to A level in the 6th Form. In Years 10 to 13, students are taught via video conferencing by a teacher at the University of Cambridge.
There are annual trips and a weekly homework club to support students with their study of the subject.
