Welcome to The Latymer School Website
The Latymer School is a selective grammar school for boys and girls aged 11 to 18. It aims to provide a broad and stimulating educational experience with very high standards within the formal curriculum while believing that school life should be valued for itself and not only as a preparation for adulthood. The heart of the school's aims is the intellectual, cultural and social development of all pupils in a context of mutual esteem and sensible good order.

There is an outstanding musical tradition which leads to a wide range of music making, much of it of very high quality, mainly as an extra-curricular activity. Drama, sport and outdoor pursuits are also very strong. The House system engenders much purposeful activity: inter-House competitions in sport, drama and music and non-competitive ventures such as fund raising for a wide variety of charities. Our field centre in North Wales (Ysgol Latymer at Cwm Penmachno), owned by the Foundation, is widely used as a base for outdoor pursuits and field courses.
The school is situated in Edmonton, North London. Its site is off the A10, just north of the North Circular Road. It is easily reached from the M25 and is well served by public transport.

Latymer celebrates 100 years on Haselbury Road

The Latymer School was founded in 1624 when a City merchant Edward Latymer bequeathed certain property to trustees on condition that they were to clothe and educate "eight poore boies of Edmonton". The trustees are under a duty to carry out the provisions of his will "unto the end of the world”. The Old Latymer on Church Street closed in 1909. Friday 24 September 2010 commemorates the 100th anniversary of move of The Latymer School to Haselbury Road.

Throughout 2010 we will be celebrating this important milestone. The first main event will be the opening of the Seward Studio (the conversion of a gym into a state of the art multi-use performance and gallery space) on Tuesday 23rd February.
