Admission Arrangements at Age 11+
The Latymer School Edmonton is a Voluntary Aided Grammar School (a selective school) for Boys and Girls aged 11-18. The Governors welcome applications for children of high academic ability. From September 2012 the Governors will offer places to 186 pupils (the standard number under the 1988 Education Act).
Registration Forms
Registration forms will be available from the school on our open evenings and must be returned to Miss C. Connolly, School Admissions Officer, no later than: Click here for dates
No late admissions will be accepted.
Parents living in other Boroughs are advised to check with their own local authority about the advisability of naming Latymer on their local Secondary Schools Application Form.
Only girls and boys who are deemed capable of following an education leading to the higher grades of GCSE in a full range of National Curriculum subjects are eligible to be considered for admission to the school. The Governors will judge whether a candidate fulfils these requirements by reference to tests to be taken at the school. Please note that the first over subscription criteria is children living within the postcodes as listed. Applications outside these areas are tested only if the school is under-subscribed.
Postcode Criterion
Rationale for postcode criterion
- a long journey to and from school may tire pupils and so they are disadvantaged when working on homework or coursework tasks
- many extra-curricular activities occur after school, finishing at 17.00 or 17.30 hours. During the winter months this would be journeys in darkness
- there are a number of out of hours learning activities (ICT, food hygiene certification) which could also affect school departure time.
The postcode criteria is:
- Those who live in the following postcode areas:
E2, E4, E5, E8, E9, E17
EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4, EN5 Sectors 1, 2, 4, 5, EN8 Sectors 7, 8, 9
N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N9, N10, N11, N12, N13, N14, N15, N16, N17, N18, N19, N20, N21, N22 CLICK FOR MAP
Are you planning to move into the Latymer area from elsewhere?
If so, you must attach to your application form:
- a letter from a solicitor indicating your intent
or
- a rental agency agreement for a property you intend to move into.
If you do not live in one of the published postcode areas and provide neither, your child will only be tested if the school is under-subscribed.In line with the Enfield-wide admissions policy, we need confirmation of your new address by mid February, in other words, you must have moved by then, otherwise we may withdraw your application.
Information supplied by parents may be checked and any offer made on the basis of false information will be withdrawn.
