Enrichment activities

There are opportunities for students to broaden their experience and develop their leadership and team working skills.

• Community Service: 'Youth Action Volunteers in Enfield' (YAVE) arranges placements.  There is also the possibility of working in a local sheltered home for the elderly, in primary schools and in Latymer itself. Here sixth formers help with the Homework and ICT clubs and there is a mentoring scheme where 6th formers are attached to a particular child.
• CSLA: Community Sport Leadership Award
• Young Enterprise: Students form a company with the guidance of a mentor from the business community and trade for one year.
• BELA: British Expedition Leadership Award

These activities, as well as a number of extra-curricular activities like Chess, Sport, Amnesty, Debating, World Community Societies, Orchestra, Choir, Drama and many others, including societies arising from particular interests like Medical Society, Philosophy Society and Literary Society, all contribute to the development of the individual. If students apply to University then evidence of involvement with them and especially of associated responsibilities contributes towards their profile and what is known as the 'personal statement' and school reference.
