Activities Week
Activities Week is a Latymer tradition which has existed for over 40 years. In the last week of June, all pupils (except those doing public exams) participate in a week long activity, chosen from a long and varied list. Most are residential and they are based all over Europe. Over 25 trips go out, ranging from camping and outward bound trips to Devon, the Brecon Beacons, County Mayo to walking in the Swiss Alps, sailing in the Mediterranean, cycling around Britain or surfing in Cornwall. For the less physically inclined there are cultural trips to Paris, Venice and Barcelona. There are also London based activities, ranging from visiting galleries and exhibitions, studying London landmarks to making a documentary in a week and producing and performing a pantomime. This year, for the first time, a DT Activity was added which involved a group of Year 10 boys designing and building a playhouse for children at a local primary school.
HORIZON FUND
The Parents' Gild runs a number of fund-raising events, with all funds raised being given back to the School to distribute in many different ways. The Horizon Fund covers the cost of trips for those who may find it difficult to meet the cost, with every request being considered personally by the Head.
