We live in Enfield and are starting to look at schools. We went to The Latymer School today and my daughter loved it. The results are great, but it also seemed like a friendly school with happy students which I liked. However, I’ve heard mixed reviews about the teaching and the fact that some students have to get tutors. Does anyone have an experiences they could share? Thank you.

Hi all. Thanks so much for your feedback. It’s reassuring to hear. She has started prepping. I’m an English teacher and my husband does Maths so we aren’t using a tutor. I think we’ll try a mock test and take it from there. Our other choices in Enfield are Kingsmead and St Anne’s.

I'd also be keen to hear about Latymer, particularly those who know about A-levels there as we're considering it for my DS at sixth form. He's currently at a North London selective indie and doing very well - however, the fees are becoming increasingly unmanageable for us, so a move to a grammar for A-level is appealing.
My reservation about Latymer is the area as @TempsPerdu said - I've heard lots about the neighbourhood being very rough, but I'm wondering how easy this is to avoid. School buses perhaps? Surely it can't be THAT bad around there?!

Sadly, we are out the catchment for DAO.
