At Tudor Grange Primary Academy St James, we recognise that in today’s increasingly interconnected and interdependent world, proficiency in other languages is a skill that opens up opportunities and enriches our children’s experiences. It deepens the children’s understanding of, and respect for, different cultures in our local, national and global communities and better prepares children to study or work within roles or settings which require expertise in another language.

At Tudor Grange Primary Academy St James, we use the Maximum Classics curriculum developed by Charlie Andrews (maximumclassics.com) to support our teaching of Latin.

The study of Latin gives children a foundational understanding of the structure of language and supports in the learning of all other languages that they may go on to study.
