Latymer - insiders perspective
Hello everyone and thank you for reading this.
My son went through to DAO and Latymer and we are now agonising over making the right choice. I know a few people who can share info on DAO, but nobody from Latymer, so would be really grateful if you could shed some light on this school:
- ethos (real one not the one declared on the official site:-)
- teaching (exams driven vs knowledge sharing, memorising vs debating/discussing/evidence discovery)
- study - life balance: how much do children have to study after school? -
- what subjects are of a specially high standard at this school?
Thank you in advance for your help. We have one day left to make a decision, so any insights will be of great help!

Re: Latymer - insiders perspective
Just wondering which option you went for? We were in the same position and chose DAO.
