Classics is a thriving subject at Junior King’s.  The staff of the Department come from different parts of the Roman Empire which gives us all a sense of its impact on Europe. We believe that Classics is not simply about the language and so throughout their time at Junior King’s, pupils will encounter the full range of Classics; as a result we look at Greek and Roman mythology, ancient history and daily life.

We start Latin in Year Five and the main text book is Latin Prep by Theodore Zinn, which has quite a traditional approach to the language.  There are Beginners groups for children who join the School later.  Greek is also taught to some groups in Years Seven and Eight.
