At Abberley Hall, pupils have the opportunity to learn both Latin and Greek and within the syllabus the children study both the historical and cultural impacts of both societies.

Latin and Greek help us to understand the mechanics of language and especially how English works. It also advances many links to Modern Foreign Languages and aides future studies of these.

The rich history offers a much broader insight into Western Civilisation and the heart of our culture. Walk back over millennia and understand our roots, read the first histories and poems, discover how and why wars took place, let your heart soar with the victories of Jason, Hercules, Alexander and despair alongside Hector, Achilles and Penelope. Learn to argue your points like the ancient orators but overall enjoy every moment.

In Year 4 the pupils explore all that ancient mythology has to offer. Latin is introduced in its linguistic form in Year 5 and Greek to the most able form in Year 6.
