Dear Parents,

Welcome to Latchmere School – a vibrant and inclusive community where every child is encouraged to thrive. We are incredibly proud of the nurturing environment we’ve built, where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn. At the heart of our school is a strong sense of belonging and mutual respect, where every child is valued for who they are.

We believe that the partnership between school and home is essential to our success. By working closely with parents, carers, governors, and the wider community, we create the foundation for a happy, successful school journey. From nursery through to Year 6, we aim to foster a warm, family-like atmosphere where children grow in confidence, express their individuality, and feel proud of their achievements—whatever form they take.

I’m often in the playground at drop-off and pick-up – please don’t hesitate to come and say hello. If you'd like a more formal conversation, I’m always happy to meet and discuss any questions or concerns. You can make an appointment by emailing me directly at headteacher@latchmereschool.org. 

Best wishes

Carolyn Coles

Head of School
