Carlton le Willows students made us really proud (again). In September, a group of Year 8 students were invited to attend the launch of Latin at Delta’s headquarters at Education House in Knottingley. The conference gathered students from various Delta academies to experience a taste of the Latin language. There were quizzes, puzzles, team challenges and so much more. We’re very pleased to say that one group of Carlton le Willows students was the conference’s overall winning team! All students showed a fantastic amount of resilience and determination. 

Carlton le Willows is one of just five Delta academies invited to participate in the national Latin Excellence Programme, which is funded directly by the Department for Education. This exciting opportunity has allowed the Department of Languages at Carlton le Willows to offer Latin lessons to both Year 8 and Year 10 students. In Year 11, these students will sit a GCSE in Latin, something which will open so many doors for them in the future.
