The Latymer School

About the School

The Latymer School is a high achieving, selective grammar school with a great tradition of success; staff aim to provide a first class education for all students. The Latymer School believes that an outstanding education develops students academically, socially and morally, giving them the skills to be successful in whatever they do once they have left The Latymer School. Staff also feel it is important to develop students outside of the classroom The Latymer School offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities and trips including visits to its own residential centre in Cwm, Wales.

Secondary education represents a major stage in the life of each young person and so staff aim to work together with parents, carers, governors and the local community to support all young people; enabling them to develop and grow within this community and in building together a real sense of identity within The Latymer School.

Their motto is ‘who endeavours wins’ and that sums up the ethos The Latymer School wishes to build within its school community; life is not always straight forward and staff encourage all students to persist, to keep trying and then success will come.

Staff recognise the equal value of each individual pupil and they aim to provide the best possible opportunities for every child.
