University destinations
What and where do our pupils study after leaving the Latymer School.
Many students choose to study A Levels in the Latymer School Sixth Form with the ambition of progressing to university. Equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to take their next steps, the vast majority of our students secure a place at their first-choice university. They go on to pursue a diverse range of subjects and careers, from Law, Architecture and Medicine to Criminology, Aerospace Engineering and Philosophy, Politics & Economics.
University destinations vary from year to year, but Latymer has a long-standing record of supporting students to secure places at some of the world’s leading universities. Each year, around 20–25 students receive offers from the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge, with the majority successfully securing their place on results day.
"The education that pupils receive at this school consistently sets them up for success in their future lives." Ofsted, 2026
The success of all students is in part due to the excellent careers advice provided by the Sixth Form Team, and the staff’s detailed understanding of what makes an outstanding university application.
The Latymer School is also happy to facilitate applications to universities outside of the United Kingdom. In such cases, information collected for UCAS applications is adapted to suit the relevant application format.
