The following are quotes from staff re: Latin project:

• ‘I know that the children who have been from my class; their enthusiasm and curiosity about languages has been sparked. They are so keen to share what they've learned back in the classroom and are keen to go each week.’

• ‘One child has happily given up football on Wednesday in favour of Latin! and has been lovely to be part of the Latin (and some Greek!) sessions. All the children have responded extremely positively and it is incredible how many Latin words they have retained.’

• ‘The children from Y5 here have certainly been keen to attend and are proud of the knowledge they gain each week. In particular, G in my class has really blossomed and it has clearly given her a greater confidence in her own use of language back in the classroom. Expanding and enriching the children's vocabulary in English has also been a key success of the project.'

• ‘ I was nervous at first but the girls made us feel very welcome and I was good at Latin!’

• 'I feel I can do anything now!'
