We welcome applications from pupils to join Latymer Upper School in Year 7. Children from a range of primary and preparatory schools sit the exam each year.
The entry process
For entry to Year 7 in September 2025, children should be born between 01 September 2013 and 31 August 2014 and in Year 6 at the time of the entrance exam scheduled to take place at Latymer Upper School, Hammersmith. The date of the exam is Wednesday 4 December 2024.
All pupils registered prior to the deadline (please refer to the timetable below) will be invited to take the exam which covers English and Mathematics. Please note that we cannot accept registrations after the deadline of midday Monday 14 October 2024.
Latymer Upper School sets its own papers in English and Mathematics; sample papers are available via the button below. These are indicative of the style of questions which can be expected and we do not provide answers or a mark scheme. There is one paper for Maths (60 minutes) and two papers for English – comprehension/multiple choice (35 minutes) and creative writing (45 minutes) – with a 20 minute break after the English paper. If your child is eligible for learning support adjustments, you will be asked to indicate this at the point of registration. Supporting documents will be required to evidence any requested adjustments and these must be submitted by the registration deadline of midday Monday 14 October 2024.
Selected candidates will be invited back to School for an Interview Session after the entrance examinations. Interview Sessions will be held in School on Tuesday 7 January 2025 and will comprise a half day of immersive learning activities in classroom settings and a 1:2:1 interview . The Session will contain elements our academic team will use to learn about character, curiosity and ‘teachability’. We will ensure appropriate adjustments are made for those with a learning difference.
We know that you will have many things to consider when choosing a secondary school, we have created a series of videos and frequently asked questions and hope that we have answered all your questions via the links and below.
Please do contact the Admissions Team at any time, we are always very happy to help.
