FAQs
Is Latymer's English test the same as Tiffin or Sutton?
No - Latymer's English paper is school-set and includes a real writing task, not the GL multiple-choice format Tiffin and the Sutton SET schools use for Stage 1.
Is there a catchment area?
Yes - Latymer only admits pupils whose main address falls within its published Inner Area (a defined list of postcode sectors). Check the school's current admissions page for the exact boundary, since it can be revised.
Admissions arrangements change. Always check the current policy and admissions page on the school (or local authority) website before relying on this information - especially catchment areas, score thresholds and registration deadlines.
