HealthyAbout Latymer School
The Latymer School is a thriving North London grammar where pupils develop a genuine love of learning alongside strong academic achievement. The curriculum is impressively broad, offering languages including Latin, Russian and German, while the sixth form is particularly strong, with students achieving exceptionally well and progressing to top universities or competitive apprenticeships. What truly sets Latymer apart is its outstanding personal development programme—pupils engage in meaningful debates on contemporary issues, take on leadership roles through initiatives like the Equalities Action Project, and benefit from extensive extracurricular opportunities spanning music, sport, chess and engineering. Sixth formers act as mentors to younger students and even volunteer in local primary schools, creating a genuine sense of community.
