After an absence of three years, the London Area Latin and Greek Reading Competition was revived at Westminster School in March.
Our judges were Dr. Gail Trimble and Mr. Stephen Anderson, both of Oxford University. 11 schools attended, 2 from the state sector and 9 from the independent. Another student, from a state primary school, attended independently, escorted by his mother.
The categories were Beginners’ Latin, Beginners’ Greek, Pre-GCSE Latin, Greek Dialogue, Open Latin and Greek Chorus. Commemorative medals were awarded to the best three entrants in each category. The most successful school was St. Paul’s Boys, with three golds.
Other schools to win medals were St. Paul’s Girls, Lady Eleanor Holles, Westminster Under School, East London Science School, Merchant Taylors’, Westminster School and Cutteslowe Primary School, Oxford.
