Classics
Pupils have the opportunity to study two subjects within the department. Both Latin and Classical Civilisation are taught to GCSE level and Classical Civilisation is studied at AS and A2 levels.
LATIN in Years 7-9
Latin is offered to top set pupils at Durham School. The department uses the Cambridge Latin Course and its dedicated website to learn the language. Time is also devoted to the study of the daily lives of Romans living in Pompeii, Roman Britain and Rome itself and this forms our introduction to CLASSICAL CIVILISATION with an additional lesson being devoted to the latter in Year 9.
Access GCSE and AS/A2 GCE courses below.

Testimonials
"Our daughter moved to Durham School at the beginning of Year 8. The transition has been excellent and the support that the School has given her during the change has been really first class. In particular, we have been very impressed indeed with the way in which House staff have facilitated our daughter’s entry to the school. They have taken the time to get to know her and we have been very pleased with the advice and guidance that we have all received. We are so pleased we made the move and only wish we had done so earlier."
