Mentorship for Pocklington University of the Third Age Latin Group Leaders

The Head of Classics from Pocklington School provides help and support to the organisers of the Pocklington U3A Latin Group.  Primarily this is in the form of assistance with syllabus content, loan of text books and photocopying of resources free of charge.

In addition, the two leaders of the group have been given assistance with the syllabus and resources for the GSCE Latin exam, which they sat at Pocklington School, as external candidates.

The Pocklington School Latin Department also loan text books to local community Latin Clubs
