About Latymer Upper School

Latymer Upper School is a private, mixed secondary in the Hammersmith and Fulham local authority, where it stands as one of six schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted out of 14 same-type schools in the borough. Among its closest academic peers in the area, it sits alongside West London Free School, The Fulham Boys School, and The Hurlingham Academy, though as an independent school it operates outside the state-maintained framework that those schools follow. The school is led by headteacher David Goodhew and serves 1,150 pupils aged 11 to 18, with capacity for up to 1,450. It is not a boarding school but does have an official sixth form, and its nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour is Sacred Heart High School, just 0.4 kilometres away. This places Latymer in a competitive local landscape where families have strong state and private options to weigh up.
