A personal reflection on the experience of introducing Latin to the curriculum. School S. (non-selective, secondary) introduced Latin as a timetabled subject at Key Stage 3 between 2016 and 2019. This is a case study and personal reflection from the teacher who instigated and taught the course, comprising the extracurricular efforts which paved the way for the class, methodological considerations, an evaluation of the project, and the reasons why Latin was ultimately discontinued from the curriculum.
