Our son is in Year 5 and has been attending Latchmere since Year 3. From the moment he started, he has absolutely enjoyed the school, and we are thrilled with the progress he’s made both academically and personally. The teaching staff are wonderful, and the school's facilities, including the swimming pool and the green space nearby, make Latchmere truly special in the area. The strong sense of community among parents, staff, and volunteers creates a...

We have had a great experience for both our children attending Latchmere from nursery to year 6. The school grounds are second to none in the borough for primary schools, the teachers are hard working and patient and kind, the broad demographic of families that go to Latchmere means that whatever background, religion or culture you belong to, you are included and welcomed. We have 2 children who are completely opposite - one sporty and...
We have 2 children at Latchmere both now in KS2, having started at the school nursery in 2018 and 2020. The school has a warm community of teachers, teaching assistants, senior leadership team and staff many of whom have been at Latchmere for a long time if not went to Latchmere and returned professionally. Our two children have very different interests, skills and abilities but Latchmere caters to their individuality and supports their educational but...
My children really enjoy going to Latchmere School. The facilities are really excellent; there is a dedicated pupil kitchen, art room, drama hall and there is also a swimming pool on site, so no need to travel further afield for those all important swimming lessons. There are so many opportunities for all students to engage in extra-curricular activities, and there is flexible wrap around care available, which is a great help. The learning environment is...
Our daughter is in year 3 and has been at Latchmere since reception. She has loved the school from day 1 and we couldn’t be happier with her progress and development at the school. Aside from the fantastic teaching staff, Latchmere has (in our view) a unique position in the area - with space, a wide range of facilities including a swimming pool and a location that benefits from green space right opposite (Latchmere rec)...
Our daughter is in year 3 at Latchmere and has loved the school since she joined in reception. As parents we couldn’t be happier with the teaching, environment, facilities and pastoral care that the teachers and wider staff provide. There is also an incredibly involved and committed community centred around the school which adds to the environment immeasurably. Aside from fabulous teaching staff, the school has space, equipment for every interest, a swimming pool and...
My two children have thrived at Latchmere School in a loving community with passionate teachers. They look forward to going to school and come home excitedly telling me about what they have been up to. The music and sports opportunities offered to them through specialist teachers are fantastic.
My daughter is in year two at Latchmere School. Having been with the school for the last three years, we are increasingly fond of the Latchmere community. Headteacher Mrs Coles is not only efficient at managing the school, but she is one of the kindest and most supportive person that all the children adore; and most importantly a highly effective communicator who deals with all issues and concerns with speed and care. The class teachers...
