Founded in 1624, the Latymer School has provided an excellent education to the young people of Edmonton and North London for 400 years. Over the course of its existence, our school community has expanded and diversified, evolving into an incredibly inclusive school with a great tradition of success.
As the Headteacher of the Latymer School, I feel privileged to be able to lead a school with such a rich history of academic success and of developing well-rounded, empathetic learners.
Our students are at the heart of everything that we do and our staff work hard to ensure that the teaching is of the highest standard and that our students are supported to become experts in what they are learning.
This same drive for our students reflects the original intention of Edward Latymer in 1624 whose vision was to provide an excellent education to the young people of Edmonton and North London. Over these 400 years, the school has expanded and diversified into an incredibly inclusive community and we are proud of our dynamic, diverse and dedicated students who thrive at Latymer.
