The entry process
For entry in September 2023, children should be in Year 6 at the time of the entrance exam scheduled to take place at Latymer Upper School, Hammersmith. Registrations are now open, the date of the exam is Wednesday 7 December 2022.
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.
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 and we do not provide answers or a mark scheme. There is one Maths paper (60 minutes) and two papers for English – comprehension/multiple choice (35 minutes) and creative writing (45 minutes) with a 20 minute break after the Maths paper. If your child is eligible for learning support adjustments, you will be required to submit supporting documents after registration. Candidates who do well in the exam will be invited back to the School for an interview so that we can get to know them better and assess whether Latymer is the right school for them. Interviews will take place on Tuesday 10 January 2023.
For assistance with school fees, bursary applicants must first meet the same academic requirements for entry to the School as other pupils. 11+ and 16+ bursaries are means-tested and based on family financial circumstances. They vary in amount from 25% to 100% of fees. More information is available here.
