Latchmere School - a community school in Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey

At Latchmere School we have created a vibrant learning community in which all  of our children can flourish, supported by talented and dedicated staff.

We enable all the children in our care to attain the knowledge, skills and attitudes that lead to high levels of achievement in all areas of the curriculum and equip them to be life-long learners, ready to take their place as active global citizens.

Latchmere School is surrounded by parkland and situated in the green, attractive area of North Kingston close to the borders of Richmond upon Thames. Within walking distance, we have the wonderful natural resources of Richmond Park, Ham Common, Ham Lands and the River Thames with its walks and parks.
