School History & Details

In 1624, Edward Latymer established Latymer Upper School. Mrs. Wiggans served as the Prep School's first Head when it opened in 1951 on the ground floor of Rivercourt House. 1A and 1B were the two classes. The Prep playground was expanded when the Great West Road was built across Latymer's playground in 1956. The tunnel beneath the dual highway was erected at the same time. The size of the Prep had doubled by 1963. In years 3 and 4, the Prep became co-ed, and in 2010, Latymer gave the first Latymer Foundation scholarship to a Prep student. Approximately 175 students attend the school today.
