Latymer Upper School
Latymer Upper School is a coeducational public school in Hammersmith, London, England, between King Street and the River Thames. The school has approximately 1,200 pupils, and is highly selective, accepting under 10% of applicants (in 2016); most are admitted through examination and interview to Upper School at the age of eleven, with some entering into the Sixth Form at 16. The school can be traced to a charity school for boys founded by the English merchant Edward Latymer in 1624. It moved to its present site in 1863 and in the mid-20th century became a direct grant grammar school. It has been independent since the abolition of that system of funding in the 1970s. It remained single-sex until Sixth-Form admissions were opened to girls in 1996; the remainder of the school became coeducational in the first decade of the 21st century. Latymer has been ranked consistently among the leading schools in the country academically. This is on the merit of its position in the national GCSE and A level examination performance tables combined with one of the highest Oxford and Cambridge acceptance rates of any secondary school or college, and it is one of the top schools for the arts and sport. As of 2020 the Sixth Form of 340 is one of the largest in London and offers forty academic courses as well as extra-curricular activities.
