Latchmere is an academy school for boys and girls aged 3-11 years. There are seven year groups (Years R – 6), and we normally place children according to age. Each class of pupils has its own designated teacher, but children are often taught by other teachers, who are either from the same year group or are specialists in particular subjects. The use of specialist teachers for Music, Art and French is a strength of the school. 

We have large playgrounds bordered by trees and shrubs, with an exciting adventure playground, quiet sitting areas and multi-sports facilities. We enjoy shared use of extensive playing fields which are adjacent to the school and have our own covered and heated swimming pool, which is in continuous use from April to October. 

If you're searching for your next teaching post, why not contact us now? You'll be working at a great school and be part of a friendly, helpful team. We're always interested to hear from enthusiastic, committed teachers.

One of London’s liveliest boroughs. Life revolves around the Thames, with the buzzing market town of Kingston being the main attraction. Kingston High Street runs parallel to the Thames so it many of its favourite restaurants are found situated along the banks of the riverside.

With the popular Kingston University based here there is an abundance of bars and clubs to entertain the vibrant student population and younger residence.

Kingston upon Thames is one of the greener areas of the capital with two royal parks in neighbouring Richmond upon Thames. Local parks hold facilities to cater for all those who enjoy the great outdoors, such as Canbury Gardens which is home to the Kingston Rowing Club boathouse and is in turn a great spot for fishing.

Only half an hour from central London it has excellent train links. Situated near to the A3 and M25 it is also easily accessible by car. The river bus as an excellent alternative to get into Canary Wharf and London Bridge.
