Classics

At Rokeby, our Classics teaching encompasses both the language of Latin and Greek but also many aspects of the civilisations of Rome and Greece and to do this in a stimulating and engaging way.

All boys are given an introduction to the ancient Greek and Roman world in Year 2. They begin learning Latin in Year 5 and continue through to Year 8. Greek is offered as an extra-curricular lesson, to those most able in Latin in Year 7 & 8. The Classics department runs two very successful trips in Year 7 to the Roman baths in Bath and a trip to Italy, biannually, for Years 7 & 8.
