Campaign Review, September 2023
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 at least £40 million by the 400th anniversary of the Foundation in 2024, in order to provide funding for means-tested bursaries for as many as 1 in 4 of our pupils; thereby offering a life-transforming Latymer education to more local children. This is the first stage on our journey towards a “needs-blind” admissions process, so that any child with academic potential can come to our School, regardless of their family’s financial status. Significantly increasing our endowment for bursaries will ensure we have funding for future generations of Latymerians to come.
Latymer Upper and Prep School is an academically selective, independent, coeducational school in West London. Although now fully fee-paying, the School 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 our School and the Latymer of today consists of a vibrant student body of 1,400 girls and boys from all walks of life.
I will be eternally grateful for being able to attend Latymer. I always feel like I was very privileged and lucky to be able to go. Fortunately, I now have a career (and further career progression) thanks to what Latymer made possible. I want to be able to fund a pupil with a similar background to my own so that they too can attend Latymer in the future. I would never want a bright child to be unable to access to the education that they deserve because of financial hardship.
FULL BURSARY ALUMNA, CLASS OF 2015
Like everyone joining this month, my family and I have been given a warm welcome by the Latymer community and are very much looking forward to what lies ahead. In particular, what an exciting time it is to be here, as we prepare to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Latymer Foundation in 2024.
There couldn’t be a better way to start the new academic year than acknowledging that 1 in 4 of our new joiners in Year 7 are here on a bursary –all thanks to you, our donor community, who’ve supported our Inspiring Minds campaign. Over the last four centuries Latymer has exponentially grown its social impact – from feeding, clothing and educating those original ‘eight poore boyes’ of Hammersmith to being a thriving community of more than 1,400 boys and girls from age 7-18
at both Latymer Prep and Upper School; 1 in 5 of whom are here on a bursary.
The ambition, generosity and ingenuity of the Latymer community has resulted in a sectorleading bursary programme with one of the highest numbers of free places, with the average award being for 85% of fees. This means that we are now not only one of the UK’s leading coeducational schools but also one of the most socially inclusive independent day schools in the country. The impact of these bursaries is clear, at a time when the disadvantage gap remains at its widest in a decade, GCSE and A Level results for our bursary holders remain on par with their fee paying peers – an average 8.3 GCSE score and 81% of A Levels at A*/A. Since 2004 over 70% of our bursary holders have gone on to Russell Group universities with increasing numbers now also accepting places at international universities, including the Ivy League. The Foundation’s plan is to go further – to become needs-blind, ensuring no child is disadvantaged in the admissions process by their financial circumstances.
Interest in our School continues to grow as do the number of bursary applications. We are mindful that not every child can come to study at Latymer but complementing our bursary scheme is our comprehensive partnership programme, involving more than 250 local schools, charities and community groups. Last year we increased participation by 20% with more than 3,000 children in the local area taking part in our partnerships – that’s more than two children to every Latymer pupil.
As a local resident, married to a Latymerian (Class of 1988) and now mother to two Latymerians, I am very familiar with the School’s reputation for being a forward-thinking community that combines excellence with innovation and turns out exceptional alumni with a social conscience and a global outlook. In my role as Chair of Governors of St Stephen’s CE Primary School in Shepherds Bush I’ve witnessed the incredible impact of Latymer’s partnerships programmes firsthand – the pride at winning the inaugural Maths Challenge last year and the development not only of oracy skills but also confidence through the Primary Debating programme Like St Stephen’s, primary and secondary schools across the local area have appreciated the way Latymer has worked collaboratively to provide access to free educational activity programmes and facilities for local children most in need of support.
I am honoured to serve as the Head of a School which is redefining how independent schools can make a genuine and meaningful contribution to their community. Latymer’s ethos chimes with my own values and I relish the opportunity to continue the outstanding work of David Goodhew over the past decade. To be leading us into the next phase of our history in the 400th year and the successful conclusion of our Inspiring Minds campaign is a great privilege and one that I am very much looking forward to.

To be able to offer bursaries to 1 in 4 of our pupils is the first stage of the journey towards our dream of needsblind admissions to Latymer. We are delighted to report that, having raised over £40m, we reached a key campaign goal with 1 in 4 of the incoming new joiners attending Latymer thanks to a bursary. Our ultimate campaign aim remains the same: to raise enough funds to offer bursaries to 1 in 4 of our pupils by the time of our 400th anniversary in 2024. We are hopeful that the strong support from the Latymer community will continue and enable us to reach this goal next year, as we progress towards a longer-term aspiration of ‘needs-blind’ admissions.

How are you connected to Latymer?
I joined Latymer as a teacher of English in 1997 and retired as a Head of Year in the Sixth Form after twenty years. I still work with the alumni team, enjoying connecting with former students, and interviewing potential bursary applicants. My son, Joe (2006) and daughter, Hannah (2009), loved their time at the School; their strong Latymer friendships have endured into adulthood. It is a joy to see!
What is a stand out memory from your time at Latymer?
I have many happy memories of my time at Latymer, but I think I was most proud at the end of summer term when we bid farewell to the leaving Upper Sixth; seeing them as newly confident, independent, thoughtful young adults filled me with pride; Latymer seems to invest a certain magic formula into its diverse alumni –it is special.
I felt particular pride in three of our bursary students, also great friends, who all won places at Imperial College Medical School. They all worked voluntarily for the NHS during the pandemic, and are now thriving in their medical careers, and often offering advice to the Latymerians coming behind them.
How have you chosen to support Latymer?
I have chosen to leave a legacy to Latymer in my will. As a former teacher and parent, I feel immensely grateful to the School that allowed me to enjoy a fulfilling career, educated my children, but, most importantly, has developed a growing bursary programme. I have seen first-hand how a bursary at Latymer can make a transgenerational, life-changing impact. If I can contribute, even in a small way, to this wonderful programme, I am more than happy to do so.
Why is it important to give back?
It is a privilege and honour to give back to the School that gave my family and me so much. Latymer has a very special place in all our hearts.
How do you hope Latymer is remembered in our 400th year?
Edward Latymer left a legacy in 1624 which kickstarted a transformational educational force in Hammersmith. Thousands of young people have felt the impact of that legacy and, 400 years later, we have the opportunity to keep that force going for future generations. In leaving a legacy to Latymer, I am passing on my thanks for my good fortune in having a strong connection with this wonderful School.
I know the power that education can have in helping those unable to afford the quality of education that is on offer. If I can do a small amount to help the school toward its objective of needs blind admission, then it is a privilege to do so.

Why did you and your family choose Latymer? My parents emigrated from Kuwait in the 1970s. Back in 1984, there were no league tables and I am not sure how one would go about determining which school was best. I remember getting a certain feeling that Latymer was the right school for me; the interview was with Maurice Isaac and he asked me to read from a book and chat to him about it. The creative essay was about exploring a football ground and like many 10-year-olds,
I lived for football. The School seemed so focussed on the pupil experience, rather than some of the other schools I had sat for. So Latymer Upper seemed the right fit. I sat exams for Colet Court and Westminster and got offers from both, but Latymer was also able to offer me an assisted place, so while it was the one I wanted to go to, it was also the one that made the most sense, financially.
What are some stand out memories from your time at Latymer?
The brilliant friendships and camaraderie that one established. I am still in regular contact with friends I made almost 40 years ago and it takes only a few minutes and it is like being back in the playground. I had great experiences in the classroom and wonderful opportunities. Many of my teachers left a lasting impression, which I have taken into my career. Julian Foynes, Graham Bearman (he had a unique style), John Lawrence, John Gilbert, Lisa Newton, formerly McKeith (whom I now work with), Peter Simpson and Andy Leake. They all played small but crucial parts in my choices of university, career and in Andy Leake’s case as a mentor when I was Head of Economics at St Paul’s.
How have you chosen to support Latymer?
In any way I can. I started sponsoring a prize as soon as I left school in 1991 and since then have been a frequent donor, both in ad-hoc ways (a brick and an element in the interactive periodic table) and with a regular monthly contribution as well as leaving a substantial amount in my will, when that time comes.
Why is it important to you to give back in these ways?
Latymer Upper had a profound impact on my life; I am certain that I would not have been as successful and achieved as much as I have, had it not been for the head start that I got from being at Latymer. As a child who benefitted from the assisted places scheme, I know the power that education can have in helping those unable to afford the quality of education that is on offer. If I can do a small amount to help the school toward its objective of needs-blind admission, then it is a privilege to do so.
How do you hope Latymer is remembered in our 400th year?
A school which has allowed children of every background to achieve their potential. Latymer has always been a kind, welcoming and friendly school; long may that continue.
This year, we have delivered dozens of events, both in person and virtually. We have been inspired by the support of our wonderful Latymer community, whether by volunteering, attending an event, donating or setting up a sponsored activity.
All money raised has gone to funding more bursaries at Latymer. These are just a few of the event highlights.
Leading historian Taylor Downing (1971) kindly hosted his ever-popular guided tour of the Imperial War Museum in March. Guests enjoyed a fascinating and thought-provoking tour of the collections while benefiting from Taylor’s knowledge and expertise. After the tour, the group continued the conversation in a nearby pub.
Becky Hands-Wicks, Prep parent and professional florist, led two masterclasses which saw delegates creating gorgeous traditional wreaths. They learnt about festive wreath-making, its history and how to celebrate the finest seasonal foliage, mosses and fruits – all in the vibrant surroundings of Latymer’s iconic Big Art Studio and raising £3,000 in the process.
The Prep Swimathon brought all the Prep children together to swim an incredible 151 miles in the Latymer pool. The children raised a whopping £8,077 for the Prep Bursary Fund, to help more children with great potential but limited financial means take up their place at Latymer!
Each year, our wonderfully generous Latymer community comes together to raise funds for our Bursaries Appeal. Every donation makes a difference and the gifts made by thousands of people have had a huge impact. Since its inception, donations to the Bursaries Appeal have transformed 71 students’ lives.
Many gifts to this community-led appeal are less than £20, with gifts under £100 totalling an amazing £1,062,909.32 since our Inspiring Minds campaign began in September 2014. We are so grateful to everyone who has made this happen.
The Prep Bursary Fund Appeal was created in 2009. Gifts made by Prep families have enabled 12 children, including those who have now completed their Latymer education and are studying at university, to embrace all the opportunities offered by a Latymer education.
The Prep Gild organised a full calendar of events and activities throughout the year, culminating in the Prep Summer Fair in June. All the work to organise the Fair paid off, as the children enjoyed a fun-packed day which raised an amazing £7,351 for the Prep Bursary Fund – with each donation having been generously matched by a Prep family.
Our student-led fundraising club, RAIS£, has had a remarkable year, raising almost £11,000 for the Bursaries Appeal. Among their many successful events was a thrilling Year 7 disco, a festive Christmas film night and a number of sweet sales that delighted everyone's taste buds.

When we started Teaching English as a Foreign Language at Latymer last May, our Ukrainian pupils had just arrived. One came to the UK on his own, sent to live with a relation he barely knew. Others came with their mothers and siblings. Some struggled to write their name in English. One could not stay sitting so we taught him standing up. They drew pictures: ‘That’s my house with all the windows broken,’ or ‘There is one bed for three of us’. They described long journeys through different countries, waiting for a visa to whichever country issued it first. They talked of waking up on the first morning of the invasion. They miss their homes, toys, pets and their fathers and grandparents.
Fast forward a year and the boy who could not stay sitting now watches BBC News. We quiz him and he delights in saying: ‘I know that!’ Another has read Sherlock Holmes and is now reading Harry Potter, looking up each new word and questioning us on details: ‘Why does it say he is vain? I thought that was a blood vessel?’ We tell our pupils to work us hard and to ask questions: ‘Why does flour (the ingredient) not rhyme with four?’ ‘Why is it called English as a Second
Latymer Foundation’s bursary programme is a finalist for “Contribution to Social Mobility.”
Language? It should be English as a 5th language.’ (Many of the Ukrainian pupils speak four, five or six languages.) And on diversity week: ‘Is radiation exposure a hidden disability?’
Their time in TEFL classes is theirs to use however is most useful to them: helping them email their teachers, revise for different subjects, as well as grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening and speaking. One pupil was quiet until she asked if she could move up two levels of the textbook. She did straightaway and is now taking school exams along with her class.
The Ukrainian pupils say they work harder at Latymer and have a much better relationship with their teachers, than at their old schools. They are brave, intelligent and trying to do the impossible in a short space of time. The older pupils are planning their university courses. With only 1% of displaced people in the UK in higher education*, there are high odds to beat. Latymer’s Ukrainian pupils are patriotic and keen to do well so that they can help Ukraine in the future. We are so proud of them.

The focus on social inclusion is as strong now as it was when Latymer was founded. Our longrunning programme, Service in the Community, is a volunteer programme for Latymer’s Year 12 students, and is a wonderful way to give back and support the local community. This year, 210 Year 12 students undertook the programme, offering their time in support of 32 local organisations and causes such as education, homelessness support and sports.
Our broad range of community and charity partners offered unique roles, including supporting after-school provision at Holy Trinity primary school, hosting reading clubs at Shepherds Bush Library and night shelter volunteers at Glass Door. In addition, 39 students offered their time as teaching assistants and debating coaches on three of our core partnerships programmes – Primary Debating, Saturday School and STEM Academy. Some students undertook self-arranged placements to explore other possibilities within their chosen study field such as medicine, care and rowing. Furthermore, three students extended their placements to contribute towards their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award.
Year 12 student Zaal is looking to study Medicine at university and approached Charing Cross Hospital. He enjoyed working on a ward reading to patients, playing puzzles with them and supporting mealtimes. He found that spending time in the hospital really helped him get an understanding of the process. Zaal’s work made a meaningful contribution and improved the patient experience. He said that he would be more confident seeking voluntary projects and, “I feel like I know where to look now, and helping people is fulfilling.”
Seventeen Latymer students across six locations helped to enthuse local primary aged children to be more active through Westside Basketball’s mini basketball programme whilst supporting primary schools in Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington & Chelsea with their sports provision. Students worked closely with the Head of Westside Basketball to coach younger children and used a range of skills including leadership, IT, event management, marketing and digital media. Alongside the weekly training sessions, these skills were used to market the programme in the local community and to coordinate the end of year tournament.
We encouraged the Latymer community to join in the national initiative to raise awareness of volunteering throughout the UK in celebration of The King’s Coronation. Many families were involved, from lending a hand with conservation at Chiswick House, to supporting the Ramblers, City Harvest London and more.
Thirteen Latymer students volunteered with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts at Holy Trinity Church in Brook Green. Students formed part of the leadership team, delivering sessions on life, interpersonal, and outdoor skills.
We are absolutely blown away by our Latymer volunteers. They are diligent, thorough and get the children so excited. They are a real asset.
SCOUT GROUP LEADER, DAN NIXON
On reading the first draft of Latymer at 400, the new book which charts the history of the Latymer Foundation, I was struck by the continuity of vision shared by successive trustees and Heads through the centuries. The founding ethos of Edward Latymer to provide access to education to young people in West London has survived thanks to visionary leaders, who navigated a variety of economic and political challenges with courage and foresight, and who handed on the baton to their successors to continue the work. Starting out in a small schoolhouse with just eight boys, through to the establishment of Latymer Upper School on King Street, the trustees fulfilled their founder’s vision in ways that responded to the need of the times. Likewise, at critical points in its history, the Heads of Latymer Upper School took bold decisions which set the school and its students on a different path, but always in the same direction.
Latymer was a flourishing direct grant grammar school for 30 years, a type of selective secondary school that existed in the UK between 1945 and 1976. In these schools, 1 in 4 of the places were directly funded by
central government. The rest of the students paid fees, although some had their places paid for by their Local Education Authority. Latymer went from strength to strength in these years, but there was growing nervousness in the early 1970s at the prospect of the Labour government abolishing the direct grant system. The then Head, Ken Sutcliffe, wrote “If any school becomes independent, the nature of the education given there will remain unchanged, but the social range of pupils will be narrower, and this will be a loss of a different kind.”
When the direct grant scheme ended in 1976, the Head and Governors opted for Latymer to remain independent rather than join the comprehensive system. The Government’s Assisted Places scheme (set up in 1980) made it possible for academically ambitious young people to continue to join Latymer on a free place or reduced fees.
The Head, Colin Diggory, wrote in 1995 that Latymer owed its success as a school to its “mix of fee paying places and places with part or full fee remission". Whatever the political complexion of the government of the day, it will always be necessary to preserve, by every conceivable means, the tradition of Latymer by which entry is determined more by the ability of the pupil than by the means of the parent.
In 1997, the government abolished the assisted places scheme and the Head and Governors had to choose whether to become a fully fee paying school in order to preserve Latymer’s independence, or be subsumed into the state system; they chose the former. But this meant that by 1998 there were only two free places at the School. This lack of socio-economic diversity
All of us at the Latymer Foundation would like to extend our warmest thanks to everyone who has contributed to our Inspiring Minds campaign in any way since its inception in 2014. We are especially grateful to our generous donors, some of whom are named below, and others who wish to remain anonymous. The following list includes donations made through July 2023. Huge apologies if, due to human error, we omitted your name. Please do let us know and we will correct it for next year’s Review.

amongst the pupils concerned everyone at Latymer and there was a collective resolve to repair the Foundation’s finances and to begin the work to restore the social mix which had always been intrinsic to the Latymer ethos.
In 2002 a mere £1,000 was raised and there were only seven students with some form of fee assistance at the school. By the time Peter Winter retired as Head in 2012, the number of students attending Latymer on a bursary had grown to 100, thanks to the generosity of the School community and the establishment of Latymer’s Development Office (now known as the Foundation Office). Under David Goodhew, this number has grown to 275 this September and Latymer Upper School benefits once more from that vibrant social mix which reflects Latymer’s founding ethos.
However, political forces once more seek to undermine the independence of schools like Latymer and to make it more difficult for us to recruit students, irrespective of their family’s financial background. Challenges lie ahead, no doubt, but I am confident that our new Head, Su Wijeratna, with the support of our Governors and our whole school community, will find a way to preserve Latymer’s founding ethos, as previous Heads have done, and our School will continue to go from strength to strength, educating young people from the widest possible range of backgrounds.

The 1624 Society was created to recognise those who have made provision for the Latymer Foundation in their will. Legacies play a key role in building our endowment and help us to protect our founder’s legacy for future generations of Latymerians.

I’d like to give a massive thank you to the people who made my time at Latymer possible. I know I’m only going to realise the true benefits of this in 20-30 years’ time, but even now I know what it’s given me, and it’s incredible. To see my path going off in a very different direction than others in my area, is something I really appreciate. And I do appreciate it and so does my Mum! Support our Campaign
