All Chigwellians study classics in Year 7 and 8; we use the Cambridge Latin Course, which combines a solid start to Latin language with a strong introduction to life in Roman times. We also provide, through a series of whole-year lectures, the Trojan War, introductions to issues such as the influence of other languages on English, as well as a taster in Classical Greek. Many choose to continue this course into the Removes, where we take the course to Roman Britain and Egypt , as well as developing our Latin; Latin GCSE involves further language study, reading original literature, and some Roman civilisation.
In the VIth form Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation are offered to AS and A2 level. The Latin involves more advanced study of language and the development of the ability to translate more complicated Latin, as well as more extensive study of Roman literature of different kinds. In Classical Civilisation students read, in English, Homer, Virgil and Greek Tragedy, as well as writing research projects on a wide range of topics.
