Welcome to Latimer Primary School. We are a growing school on the Leicester City / Leicestershire border. Anstey is a large suburb in the Charnwood area, with both new housing and families that have resided in the area for generations. We are a 'happy and harmonious' school who place children and families at the heart of everything we do.
Our staff go the extra mile so learning may flourish and all pupils can achieve their full potential. Our children are proud to be Latimer pupils and our families value the safe, supportive approach that our school has.
Our ethos of 'Developing Responsibility; Caring About Achievement' is central to everything we do and our school values, 'the Simple Truths', provide core moral principles to live by in modern Britain.
Our aim is that all pupils leave Latimer as responsible individuals and members of their community, ready for secondary school with their minds full of happy memories and future aspirations, having achieved their true potential with us.
