Message from Assistant Principal Kerry Gallon:

I am delighted for each and every one of our Sixth Form students – their results today are a testament to their dedication and commitment. It is not just these students who should be proud of what they have achieved over the last two years, there are excellent performances across the cohort, and we are very pleased to see that this includes a range of different subjects. We wish each of our students success in their next journey.

 

Message from Principal Kathryn Murphy:

Staff at The Latimer Arts College have worked tirelessly to ensure that our students are able to look forward with hope and optimism, and I am very proud of how they have contributed to each individual student’s success. We would also like to thank the parents of our school community who have actively supported our work during their child’s time with us. Whilst the overall school figures are impressive, what is important is what they mean for each students’ future pathway and the potential that has been unlocked. We have a new set of Alumni students now whose futures we will follow with pride as they build great futures. That is why we do the job that we do and days like this that make it so rewarding.
