From the Headteacher - Mark E Garbett
Initial impressions are very powerful. Latymer Is known for its academic achievement but I trust that when you visit the school you will feel the warmth of the relationships amongst all members of the school community. It is a part of the Latymer ethos that school life should be enjoyed for itself and not just as a preparation for adulthood.
Latymerians attain the very highest educational standards and enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Pupils are encouraged to achieve their full potential and to take responsibility for themselves and for others. Above all they are educated to rise to the challenges and to seize the opportunities offered by both work and recreation.
Whilst the traditions of The Latymer School are firmly established, preparing for the future is foremost. Successfully blending the old and the new prepares our young people for the years ahead.
Thank you for your interest in The Latymer School.
Mark E Garbett
