Inspection Report

Latymer Upper School has received a fantastic report from the Independent Schools Inspectorate, following the inspection which took place over a week in late September.

The inspection covered three main areas - The Quality of Education, The Quality of Care and Relationships and The Effectiveness of Governance and Management. In all three areas, the School was rated very highly with the education provided being described as "high quality and extensive". A significant proportion of lessons observed were "outstanding", with all teaching being of consistently good quality. The Inspectors thought the School benefited from clear educational direction and leadership, and in terms of care of its pupils, it provided "outstanding pastoral support and guidance". The Inspection team reached the overall conclusion that "Latymer Upper School is highly successful in fulfilling its aims."

Speaking on receipt of the report, the Head, Peter Winter, said:

"This is a fantastic report and everyone at Latymer can be hugely proud of what we are, together, achieving for the School and our pupils. I am particularly delighted that the teaching was rated so highly. All our

teaching staff, whether newly qualified or hugely experienced, are highly dedicated and this is a great tribute to them. Pastoral care is one of the most important aspects of a School this size, and I am very pleased that our strategies for care of our pupils are working so well. It is very encouraging to know that the Inspectors feel the School has improved in many areas since the last inspection in 2001, and that we have responded well to recommendations made at that time.

I could not be more pleased with this Report and pay tribute to all those who make the School as successful as it is."
