Latymer Upper Head, David Goodhew commented, “Congratulations to all our GCSE pupils who have had such fantastic results today – their hard work has really paid off. They bear the Latymer hallmark of being well-rounded individuals who, as well as achieving academically, pursue many of the co-curricular options on offer at Latymer. Having joined the School on the same day in 2012 as this talented Y11 cohort, I very much look forward to following their progress in the sixth form.”
