Overview

If you are already teaching Latin you can compare current and revised specifications on the What are the changes? page.

If your students are interested in the ancient world and how the Romans have influenced our lifestyle today, this specification is for you. Our new specification gives students the opportunity to study elements of the language, literature and culture of the Roman world.

Now with the opportunity to be more flexible, you can choose to take a linear or staged approach to assessment and new to this specification is the short course – available for students with less time and still allowing them to achieve a qualification.
