Abstract
We are now in our second year of Latin teaching at Lionheart Trust and it's fair to say that it has grown substantially as an initiative. The idea to teach Latin as an extra-curricular subject grew from our very positive experience of running Classics Clubs after school for Year 7s. These clubs were based on Greek and Roman mythology, local archaeology (plentiful given we are based in Leicester, a Roman city) and a little bit of Latin. The children loved all of these experiences and we realised quite quickly that there was an appetite for greater Latin teaching.
Highlights
We are in our second year of Latin teaching at Lionheart Trust[1] and it’s fair to say that it has grown substantially as an initiative
We took advantage of all the training available and Lucinda Cockerill and Lidia attended the Latin training offered by the charity Classics for All[3] at their Summer School based in Harrow School and we successfully pitched for donated s econd-hand Cambridge Latin Course text books for the students
We ran the club in the academic year 2018 -2019 from two sites: Martin High School and Beauchamp College
Summary
We are in our second year of Latin teaching at Lionheart Trust[1] and it’s fair to say that it has grown substantially as an initiative. At this point Lidia Kuhivchek - the Classics ambassador for Lionheart Trust - and I sat down to consider what we could offer the children and decided that it was perfectly viable to deliver Entry Level Latin[2] as an after-school club for Year 8s, so that was what we did.
