Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Good news for HOL's classicists - is Latin and Ancient Greek set to return to state schools?
The TES reports that dozens of inner city schools have put Latin back on the curriculum, in a bid to help children with their English, and now Ancient Greek may also (re) join the curriculum if the Isis Project gets its way.

p.s. please provide translations of any answers in Latin and Greek. Although, Latin was run in my comp, I only did a year and got as far in the book as Caecilius est dominus.

So, to my chagrin, we did not get far in the study of the classics

Just as you can't fully understand the present without studying history, you can't fully get to grips with modern languages without studying ancient ones.
I'm sure that, without the added impetus of a Latin O-level, I wouldn't have ended up studying modern languages at University. That degree has utterly shaped my life, including introducing me to some of my oldest friends and my Dutch partner of almost 30 years. It won't be suit everyone, just as maths never suited me, but it should be available.
