Latymerians have achieved a record number of offers from the world’s leading international universities.
With 80 offers to date from 48 universities – including Brown, Yale, UPenn, MIT, McGill, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown, Bocconi, Carnegie Mellon and ETH Zurich – in 8 different countries, this cohort has now surpassed last year’s record breaking number of 71 offers from international universities.
In addition to the incredible number of offers, Latymerians have also secured the School’s highest ever number of international scholarships, some of which are amongst the most selective in the world:

Vice Captain Nina, who is starting at the College of Arts and Sciences at UPenn in September, said: “At Latymer, we’ve been able to cultivate breadth through our Electives programme; a wider perspective through our Global Goals and World Perspectives programme in the lower years; empathy through timetabled service in the community; resilience through our BOUNCE wellbeing programme and Life Skills course; and academic independence through the EPQ or Latymer Research Report. For the American universities I was applying to, these additional aspects of the curriculum are of real value.”
Head, David Goodhew said: “I am absolutely thrilled for our students. We know that intellectual breadth is important, but admissions teams, particularly at US colleges, also value character, which is why our Sixth Form offering is so well suited to international university applications. We also want to facilitate applications from a wide range of students applying abroad, including those with significant financial need, to help them find their best fit. International universities have now become a popular pathway for Latymer students and we’re delighted to see this record number of offers alongside those from Oxbridge, Russell Group universities, Music, Drama and Art colleges, reflecting the rich variety of interests and talents of our community.”
Simon Lewis, Latymer’s Head of International University Applications said: “Over the past two years there’s been a real surge in the number of students from the UK applying to universities abroad, which means there’s ever increasing competition for spaces. Our emphasis on supporting students to find their right fit of university is clearly paying dividends in terms of student success. I am particularly pleased that so many of our bursary students have had international offers in this cycle too, as social mobility is a central aspect of the School’s mission.”
