THE CENTRE FOR LATIN EXCELLENCE
Established in 2022 to increase the uptake of and attainment in Latin in state schools across England. The Centre is funded by the Department for Education to deliver the Latin Excellence Programme.
WHAT DO WE PROVIDE?
We are working in non-selective state schools across all regions of England. Participating schools receive:
Funding: generous support to build your Latin provision sustainably, including teacher time.
Curriculum: a fully-resourced, evidenced-based Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 curriculum to support all students regardless of starting point.
Enrichment: activities and trips for all students.
Expert support: school visits and virtual support from expert practitioners throughout the academic year.
Training: regular, high-quality CPD for teaching Latin in the state sector, closely-aligned with the ECF and NPQs.
CHAMPIONING THE POTENTIAL THAT LATIN CAN OFFER
We champion the transformative potential that the study of Latin can offer students in the state sector. We strongly believe that all students should have the opportunity to learn Latin and access the many potential benefits.
AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME
The Centre for Latin Excellence is delivering the Department for Education’s Latin Excellence Programme, working with schools to support the sustainable growth of an evidence-informed high quality Latin curriculum and teaching model. The programme is designed specifically to increase the uptake of and attainment in Latin GCSE in state-funded schools in England.
