Latin and Classics Our Unique Opportunity The ancient world is an amazing place of history, myth and wonder. Most schools do not have the opportunity to teach this extraordinary subject. Here at St Columba’s not only do we bring it gloriously to life, but here we are actually in the Roman town of Verulamium! Metres away from the Latin room are the Roman walls and mosaics – there are 2000-year-old artefacts in our display cabinet, and we can put these into the hands of our students!

Latin is a subject like no other in the College - there is a great combination of fun and hard work and I couldn’t recommend it more. – Richard Chapman-Boon, Form 5
Achievements Classics students at SCC are tremendously dedicated – notably last year our Head Boy sailed into Oxford to do Classics, having won a prize in a Cambridge essay competition. The vast majority of Latin students at GCSE and A Level get A grades, and we are naturally very proud of our students’ success.
