Campaign Review, September 2020
The Latymer Foundation at Hammersmith was established in 1624 ‘to clothe and educate eight poore boyes’ in Hammersmith. It remains true to the vision of its founder Edward Latymer to this day, offering a first class education to academically able students from all walks of life.
The Inspiring Minds campaign is seeking to raise £40 million for the Latymer Foundation by 2024. It has as its primary aim to provide funding for means-tested bursaries for as many as one in four of our pupils, providing a life-transforming Latymer education for more local children. It is our aim that any child with academic potential can come to our school, regardless of their family’s financial status.
Latymer Upper and Latymer Prep Schools are academically selective, independent, co-educational schools in West London. Although now fully fee-paying, the schools’ ethos of social inclusivity remains as true today as it did nearly 400 years ago when the Latymer Foundation was established by Edward Latymer ‘to clothe and educate eight poore boyes’ in Hammersmith. His vision remains firmly at the heart of the School and the Latymer of today consists of a vibrant student body of 1,400 girls and boys from all walks of life.
The only criteria for Latymer should be ability and potential. The Inspiring Minds campaign will make that a reality.
Latymer has taught me that there is no impossible dream or goal, that all we have to do is work hard and we will achieve our aims, no matter how high they may seem to be.
I’m acutely conscious of the hardship this pandemic is causing local families as well as our own and I have been humbled by the unfailing generosity of the Latymer community and of the selfless work many of you are undertaking during this crisis. A heartfelt thanks to you all.
The most challenging of scenarios can make or break a community. Our Latymer Foundation has weathered almost four hundred years of (often turbulent) history, including two world wars, and remained strong throughout. Whilst lockdown at Latymer is one of the greatest tests we have faced, I am in no doubt that our school’s ‘family’ will come through the coronavirus crisis closer than ever.
During this extraordinary period, I have reflected on the importance of community. Ours spans over eight decades, from seven-year-olds in Year 3 to Latymerians in their 90s. We have a parent body and staff who hail from the four corners of the world and between us we represent all socio-economic backgrounds. Despite our differences we have pulled together to create a fantastic support network that stretches well beyond our Latymer community. It’s heartening to see the qualities we nurture in our Latymerians – good citizenship and empathy, alongside a broad education grounded in humility, coming to the fore even – especially –in such testing times.
On the day that coronavirus deaths in the UK pass 40,000, I find myself drawn to the memorial plaque in the Main Hall. It’s a good place from which to reflect on both the fragility and the strength of humanity. The list of hundreds of Latymerians who lost their lives during WWI and WWII makes for sobering reading. I discovered recently that 26 of our Latymerians who died during WWII had served in Bomber Command, which carried the highest death rate – a
staggering 44.4%. What struck me profoundly was their bravery in volunteering. Bomber Command was not conscripted, meaning these young Latymerians had taken on the deadly missions of their own accord, risking the ultimate sacrifice for their community.
Thankfully we’re not facing a physical war, yet the language used in the current pandemic is often bellicose – the virus referred to as the ‘enemy’ and our medics ‘fighting on the frontline’. I’m acutely conscious of the hardship this pandemic is causing local families as well as our own and have been humbled by the unfailing generosity of the Latymer community and of the selfless work many of you are undertaking during this crisis. A heartfelt thanks to you all.
I do hope you enjoy this year’s Campaign Review. As you’ll see, our Inspiring Minds campaign continues to help those in need, most recently the Latymer families who have lost their livelihoods due to the current crisis. In September there will be more than 230 pupils on bursaries funded by the Latymer Foundation – 34 of whom will join Year 7 and another 19 will join our Sixth Form. As we look forward to welcoming this next generation of Latymerians, we have much to be thankful for.

Most gifts to our Inspiring Minds campaign are immediately allocated to fund current students, according to donors’ wishes. This means that the gift is fully spent by the time the student leaves Latymer, so to create a replacement bursary requires a new round of fundraising. However a key aim of our Inspiring Minds campaign has been to build Latymer’s endowment so that funding for bursaries is permanently in place for future generations of Latymerians. A spending rate of 3% is applied to our endowment funds which ensures we have the ability to consistently fund bursaries over the long term.
Whilst our Inspiring Minds campaign mainly focuses on raising funds for bursaries, we are always hugely grateful for the gifts we receive to fund other projects at our school, some of which are featured below.
I am eternally grateful for the start in life I received through my Latymer education. I want others to have the same opportunities, so I give.
Last summer, the Piazza was transformed thanks to the generosity of a former parent. The vibrant greenery and seating spaces were designed for learning, socialising and wellbeing, and the new landscaping has been welcomed by staff and students, as well as by the local wildlife. Our thanks also go to Latymerians, Maximillian Stephenson (2002) who sponsored a bench and John Wotton (1971) who sponsored the Quercus Palustris (oak tree), and to the parents of current students who sponsored items within the revitalised Piazza.
Thanks to sponsorship offered by an alumnus (1967) we have been able to invite 40 pupils from 10 local primary schools to take part in a three-week maths competition, run in partnership with Maths Teams. With a vision to see as many maths teams as football teams, this new, not-for-profit organisation has worked with our staff and students to develop fun and engaging maths challenges for the pupils, giving them an insight into the amazing world of mathematics.
The wonderful generosity of a long-time donor allowed us to create an innovative film programme for students across all year groups. A new Filmmaking Society has started and equipment has been purchased to support members in their cinematic endeavours. The first “Latymer Shorts” competition ran last autumn and the winning entries were shown on the newly installed screen in the Recital Hall. Film is now the most popular elective in our Sixth Form curriculum with equipment available to borrow for shooting and editing.
Peter Simpson (1944), former Captain of Boats and long-standing supporter of rowing at Latymer, left a legacy in his will for the Boat Club. From September, a new Empacher Eight bearing Peter’s name will be added to our fleet, and his family will come to Latymer for the naming ceremony. This addition is particularly welcomed as it will help us accommodate the growing numbers of boys and girls who row at Latymer, and will become the racing shell for our senior girls.
When I was at Latymer we were all from a real mix of different social backgrounds.
It’s always the individual teachers who make the difference to a child’s education.
There’s a nice circular story to my family’s Latymer experience. As the son of Jewish Egyptian refugees, I benefitted from a fantastic education at Latymer and am now delighted to see the Sebastian and Vera Salama Scholarships providing full bursaries and opportunities to two Syrian refugees who are thriving at the School. Both my parents and I passionately believe that an enlightened education, like that offered at Latymer, offers opportunities which can help transform lives.
Latymer has played a huge part in our family’s history with both my brothers, Ben and Alan, also attending the School throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. Latymer was a Direct Grant grammar then so the local council paid for Ben’s education, but only part of the fees for me and Alan – the rest was financed by bank loans which took my parents around 30 years to repay. My sons, Raffi and Sam, and my niece Claire (one of the first girls to attend the Sixth Form when the School went co-ed) also went to Latymer, taking the total to six Latymerians in my family – something of which my parents are incredibly proud.
I know first-hand the opportunities a Latymer education gave me, so I’ve always been keen to help finance bursaries. My parents had built a good life for us, after having been expelled from Egypt in the aftermath of the Suez crisis, but it couldn’t have been easy – they had arrived in the UK with little more than one pound to their name and not speaking a word of English. This personal history inspired me to help two Syrian refugee families who may have gone through something similar to that experienced by my parents. That their children will now get the same education and life chances enjoyed by my brothers and me has really struck a personal chord with my family.
When I was at Latymer we were all from a real mix of different social backgrounds. I do feel that diversity in the classroom is important – I want my children to be exposed to the viewpoints of people who have different life experiences to theirs. That’s an important part of education in itself. Of course, it’s harder to do that now. When Latymer lost its Direct Grant status and then the Assisted Places scheme ended, I worried that in taking on independent status it could evolve into a very middle class, exclusive institution. Fortunately, the bursary scheme has meant that children from disadvantaged backgrounds can reach their potential and the School continues to retain some of the social mix I remember.
It’s always the individual teachers who make the difference to a child’s education. Like many pupils of my era, Graham Bearman (History), the Bone brothers (Economics) and Chris Owen (English) stand out as being particularly inspiring. And I had a youthful Pete Winter [former Head of Latymer] in his first teaching job as my French teacher! I’m very heartened, now as a parent, to see great teaching at Latymer continues to open the minds of pupils. I’m currently enjoying an evening Zoom history course with my sons, led by Jonny White (Head of History), who follows in the Bearman style of teaching – it’s very immersive and engaging. As we explore the history of fascism in Germany, I experience a strong sense of déjà vu. I really have come full circle!
ERIC SALAMA (1979)
Incoming Chair of Trustees for Comic Relief; former CEO of Kantar Media
Latymer is an extraordinary educational establishment, the likes of which I honestly do not think can be matched anywhere. I am absolutely thrilled that my son gained a place here thanks to a full bursary and I would very much like to give something back to the school to show my undying appreciation.

With the technical revolution changing the face of 21st century workplaces, the next generation of school leavers and young alumni need inspiration and guidance, now more than ever, as they navigate life beyond the school gates.
We’re so fortunate that our Latymer community of alumni and parents has such diversity of interests and experiences. We have representatives from a wonderfully eclectic range of professions who are happy to share their expertise and offer advice to our young Latymerians – as well as to pupils from our partner schools in the maintained sector.
Latymer’s networking events are fantastic in showcasing how current leaders from our Latymer community can help the next generation make important life decisions –in a nurturing and supportive environment. Three networking receptions held earlier this year (just before lockdown) really highlight the range of experience and insights our alumni and parents are able to share:
Laytmer’s teaching lends itself to the development of entrepreneurs. Independent thinking, flexibility in the face of change and the ability to adapt to new challenges are qualities we encourage in all our pupils. It’s no surprise, therefore, that many of our Latymerians become successful entrepreneurs in their own right – some whilst still at the School!
Four visionary alumni felt it was high time we created a business support programme for the next generation of Latymerian entrepreneurs and angel investors from our parent and alumni community – and so ‘Latymer Entrepreneurs’ was born. The initiative is the brainchild of founding members Toby Astor (1998), Adam Balon (1990), Fran Boorman (2000) and Rich Davidson (1993). Charlie Gardiner (2001) provided his venue ‘Bloom’ in South Kensington for the launch in February, where young alumni and parents made some great contacts – the more experienced advising those just starting on their entrepreneurial journey. Further discussions and support continue on our Latymer Entrepreneurs LinkedIn page.
As Latymerian Rahul Brainerd (2018) explains:
The Latymer Entrepreneurs launch event was brilliant! It put me in contact with other like-minded, entrepreneurial Latymerians from all backgrounds with whom I was able to have intellectually stimulating conversations, which was very reminiscent of my time at Latymer. As someone who started a business during my time at Latymer, and who wishes to start my own business again upon leaving university, this is a great opportunity to build my network. Within the Latymer community, we have so many people willing to help other Latymerians out by giving advice on developing business ideas or funding a start-up. I’m already looking forward to the next event and seeing where we can take this group!
This year’s Legal and Finance reception took place in March with a very special key speaker – Latymer parent Mark Carney. In the midst of preparation for lockdown we were enormously grateful to Mark, who found time to give us one of his final speeches as Governor of the Bank of England. The account of his entry into the world of finance inspired not only the next generation of Latymerian financiers and lawyers, but also pupils from three of our state partner schools, all of whom had the chance to ask advice from those alumni present already established in these professions. Needless to say, Mark had to make a swift exit after his speech, having rather pressing matters on a national level to attend to, all of which added to the frisson of the evening.
Mike Cooper (1979) CEO of Omnicom Media Group, chaired a fascinating panel discussion on the future of the media industry with experts in the field; fellow Latymerian Samir Shah (1969), Executive and Creative Director at Juniper Television, and Latymer parents – Mary Hockaday, Controller, BBC World Service and Turi Munthe, Media Entrepreneur and Investor and founder of PARLIA. An audience of current pupils, alumni and parents working in the media was joined by students from five of our partner state schools who had taken a ‘How to Network’ masterclass, run by our Careers department, before the event. Their newly acquired skills were put to good use during an animated post panel networking session.
In the words of a pupil from our partner state school and neighbour, West London Free School:
I enjoyed the whole experience of networking, especially due to the fact that this was my first time doing this in a formal setting. I also enjoyed the panel, from which I learnt a lot.
The Bursaries Appeal is an annual appeal which aims to fund five new bursaries every year.
As our community-led effort, the majority of gifts to the appeal are modest ones and thanks to the wonderful support from across the School community, their impact is significant. Since the beginning of the Campaign, £2,784,609 has been donated to the Bursaries Appeal by 3,300 donors.
As part of the Piazza landscaping project, we offered members of the Latymer community the opportunity to sponsor named bricks which raised a fantastic £24,275. The bricks have formed a permanent record of our generous donors and supporters. We are also grateful to Latymerian Derek Sinstead (1947) who has funded the restoration of older bricks so now all the bricks, old and new, are resplendent.
Latymer staff wrote and performed Cinderella, the first ever Latymer Pantomime. The show played to packed houses in January, with 35 staff participating. Over £8,000 was raised for the Bursaries Appeal. The Head made an appearance as Cleaner 2, while our Director of Drama played a Tree Facing Backwards!
Gay Search, author and former Latymer parent, presented her fascinating talk The Spies Next Door, drawing on her childhood experiences of befriending neighbours suspected of spying for Russia. 78 people attended the riveting talk that raised £746.
The Prep Gild organised the first Prep Quiz in January. The evening was enjoyed by 80 parents who were treated to delicious food and wine as well as challenging quiz questions. Over £2,000 was raised for the Prep Bursaries Fund.
Across the Latymer community, 186 people attended lunch, dinner and tea parties all over London and even in New York, raising £6,555,54.
Howard Covington, Latymer parent and inaugural Chair of the Alan Turing Institute, gave a talk on Glimpsing our AI future. Howard spoke passionately on the opportunities and threats presented by AI and machine learning. The talk raised over £1,300 for the Bursaries Appeal.
We hosted the third 2Bridges Run, where more than 100 Prep and Upper School students, parents, Latymerians and friends, ran or walked the 4mile/6.5k crosscountry course along the river Thames, known to most Latymerians as the Briault. Latymerian Tom Green (2000) won the overall race, and almost £5,000 was raised by ticket sales, fundraising and donations.
Latymerians responded immediately and innovatively to COVID-19:
The School immediately donated equipment – 350 safety goggles and 2,100 pairs of gloves – from the Science and Design departments to the NHS and then in March, George Dzavaryan (2016) moved into our Design department and began manufacturing much needed face shields. He was joined by Finlay White (2018) and 11 other fellow alumni who volunteered to increase production capacity of the desperately needed PPE. An additional 3D printer was also very generously donated by parents Lars and Jenifer Andersen to help meet the demand at this exceptional time. Thanks to the generosity of the Latymer community, over £53,000 was raised to pay for materials so that the team were able to produce 100,000 face shields for frontline medical staff all around the UK. Asha Dave (2016), also helped to distribute visors through Med Supply Drive, a voluntary organisation that allocates PPE where it is most needed in the NHS. George then trained six Upper Sixth students, aided by our Head of Design, Miss Green, enabling them to produce 5,000 face shields using the school’s 3D printers.
More than 30 alumni worldwide have been in touch to let us know about the vital roles they played in the fight against COVID-19, be it on the frontline or in the race to develop a vaccine. We are so proud of them all.
Responding to the financial impact of lockdown on many of our families, Latymer reduced school fees by 20% for the Summer Term and invited any parents who felt able to, to donate their discount to the Latymer Emergency Bursaries Fund. The Latymer Foundation will use this fund to provide short and medium term bursaries to families who have been severely affected by the pandemic, to ensure that no pupil has to be withdrawn from our school for financial reasons. Guests who had purchased tickets to the Inspiring Minds Spring Gala Dinner, which was due to take place in May 2020, kindly offered to donate their refund to the Emergency Fund, and additional support for the Fund was given by members of the Inspiring Minds Campaign Board. To date, £502,000 has been given to this fund and emergency bursary support has already been offered to several students.
The school gave me a fantastic opportunity to let me be where I am today.
Latymer’s Community Response Fund is helping to provide rapid support to people in our local community worst affected by the pandemic. Contributions of £63,000 to this fund so far have allowed the Foundation to pay for several initiatives including:
Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Latymer community and with the help of the West London Partnership of local schools, Latymer was able to distribute 300 dongles, pre-loaded with three months of data. This ensured that pupils – both Latymerians and pupils from schools across our local community – could continue with their learning remotely during lockdown.
Alongside providing computer equipment, Latymer supplied lunch grants and opened up the School site to vulnerable students and the children of key workers from across Hammersmith and Fulham. Over 50 Latymer staff volunteered, alongside staff from Hammersmith Academy to provide The Latymer Hub, a space for students to concentrate and learn. Over the Easter holidays, The Hub was taken over by the charity, Let Me Play, with 20 children from 10 local secondary schools, enjoying various activities – from cooking to model making – every day whilst observing social distancing guidance. During the summer holidays, more local children were invited to The Hub for an amazing range of activities run by Let Me Play and Really Wild Education.
I find myself at the epicentre of this crisis and grateful for the ability to contribute thanks to my education at Latymer which meant I could train as a doctor.
Leo Monzon Rodriguez, (1996)
When discussing the aims of our Inspiring Minds campaign with some of our cornerstone donors back in 2014, we were urged to build Latymer’s endowment in order to give our bursary programme some long-term security in times of economic crisis. Little did any of us imagine we would encounter such testing times so soon. However, the value of that early advice has been ably demonstrated over recent months. With our endowed bursary funds having doubled since 2014, the Latymer Foundation is on a firmer long-term financial footing than ever before so that as lockdown struck, we were able to swiftly reassure all our bursary holders that their place at Latymer was secure.
Endowment ensures long term impact, providing free places in perpetuity – as is demonstrated by Edward Latymer’s bequest which established the Latymer Foundation almost 400 years ago “to clothe and educate eight poor boyes of Hammersmith”. Here we are, generations later, and the Latymer Foundation still provides access to an inspiring education for young people from all backgrounds. And alongside fundraising for our endowed places, increasing the number of current bursaries available for today’s generation of young people continues to play a vital role in our Inspiring Minds campaign.
Current bursaries are funded in a number of ways: the community wide support for our annual Bursaries Appeal supports five new awards each year, the Prep Bursary Fund and the parents of the leaving class each fund a new award, as do our US based alumni, and we are hugely grateful to those donors who pledge to cover the annual fees for an individual pupil. It is this combination of current and endowment funding that has allowed us to expand our bursary programme from 123 pupils in 2014 to over 230 in 2020.
All of us at the Latymer Foundation would like to extend our warmest thanks to those who have contributed to the Inspiring Minds campaign in any way since its inception in 2014 through to 31 May 2020. We are especially grateful to our generous donors, some of whom are named below, and others who wish to remain anonymous (and of course those who made contributions after we went to print). We try our utmost to include everyone in this list; please do tell us if we have omitted your name (for which many apologies), and we’ll make sure you are included next year.

However, the Latymer Foundation faces a new challenge. The economic impact of the pandemic has hit many Latymer families hard and, having previously paid fees, they may now be in need of an emergency bursary. We want to ensure that no pupil has to leave Latymer for economic reasons and, in order to meet this urgent and unbudgeted need, we have had to reach out to the School community for help. It did not surprise me that our incredible supporters immediately rallied round and some £502,000 has already been given to our Emergency Bursaries Fund.
These challenging times have highlighted the inspirational generosity of our Latymer community. We are indebted to each and every one of you who have supported the Latymer Foundation this year, and we thank you for helping us to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

Studying at Latymer was a gift I never thought myself lucky enough to receive. The kindness of others has allowed me to gain an education I can only have dreamed of receiving. The two years I spent at Latymer have been thoroughly enjoyable and have allowed me to reach my full potential and have allowed me to dream bigger and better than I ever have before. Anything that I have achieved is attributable to the outstanding foundation provided by the School. As a proud Latymerian, I am honoured to have the opportunity to give back to an institution that has propelled so many of us into successful careers.
