Further Expansion of The Literacy Through Latin Project
In October 2012, the Literacy through Latin project was expanded to Reading, Manchester and St Andrews, with all places using the template of the project to set up local versions Iris Project staff provide guidance and mentoring for the student teachers and university staff liaison officers. In October 2013, the project will expand to Glasgow. In 2012-3, there has been a pilot of a course book written and illustrated by Iris Project members, Telling Tales in Latin in Pegasus primary school in Oxford and St Saviours primary school in London which culminates in the pupils sitting the new OCR Entry Level Latin qualification. In October 2013, it is planned for other interested schools to use the project towards an examination.

“Wealth is so much the greatest good that Fortune has to bestow that in the Latin and English languages it has usurped her name.”
