Curriculum Intent

At Polam Hall School our Latin curriculum aims to:

• Equip pupils with a knowledge of Latin syntax, vocabulary and grammar. Which will give them confidence to both translate and compose in Latin.

• Enable pupils to recognise and appreciate the connections between Latin and English, and other modern European languages.

• Introduce pupils to the magic of the ancient world through visits to ancient places, the use of artifacts, architecture, literary works and ancient history.

• Enable pupils to pay fine attention to detail when reading and writing in both Latin and English, in spelling, grammar, vocabulary and construction, so that accuaracy and fluency in both languages is greatly enhanced.
