Latymer Upper School is a private school in Hammersmith, London, England, on King Street. It derives from a charity school, and is part of the same 1624 bequest by the English legal official Edward Latymer that founded The Latymer School. There is a preparatory school on site, but most students are admitted to the Upper School through examination and interview at the age of eleven. The school's academic results place it among the top schools nationally. Having opened on its King Street site in 1895, the school spent a period of time in the mid-20th century as a direct grant grammar school, before becoming private with the system's abolition in the 1970s. Remaining single-sex until 1996, when Sixth Form admissions were opened to girls, the school transitioned to full mixed-sex education in the first decade of the 21st century. Latymer's alumni include members of both Houses of Parliament, winners of Olympic medals, actors, musicians, and many figures in the arts and sciences.
