| All pupils study Latin in Years 7 and 8, using the latest full-colour edition of the Cambridge Latin Course, together with the fantastic Cambridge School Classics Project eLearning Resource. Book 1 follows the life of a family in Pompeii in the time leading up to the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Book 2 is set in the south of Roman Britain, near the palace of Fishbourne, and then in Alexandria, in Roman Egypt. For more information on the Cambridge Latin Course, please click here.

In Year 9, pupils are divided into three sets: Gratin, Latin and Classical Civilisation. Those in a Gratin or Latin continue with the Cambridge Latin Course, completing Book 2 and beginning Book 3, which is also set in Roman Britain. Pupils in a Gratin set also begin the study of Classical Greek, using John Taylor's Greek to GCSE and may then opt for Greek and Latin at GCSE. Pupils in a Latin or Gratin set are able to opt for either Latin or Classical Civilisation (or both) at GCSE.
Those in a Classical Civilisation set pursue a non-linguistic course in Year 9. Pupils in a Classical Civilisation set may opt for Classical Civilisation at GCSE, but not Latin or Greek.
