We are privileged to have 3 Old Breconians working at Latymer Upper School and even more significant that the head is Su Wijeratna who is a Honorary Old Breconian and daughter of the late John B Cook (Head, 73-82).
Harry D Harris (ORC, 08-13) teaches Geography and both Jack B Christian (SDA, 13-18) & Harry J Copp (SCH, 11-17) are sports coaches.
Su Wijeratna, made history by becoming the first ever woman to be Lower Master at Eton in 2017 in a widely publicised and celebrated appointment. The picture was taken on the steps of our Main hall entrance at Latymer.
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 Latymer Foundation, from a bequest by the English legal official Edward Latymer. There is a junior 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.
A few years back we had 4 OB's at Bloxham School, but this is now our largest group.
