The Latymer School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for The Latymer School?

The catchment area for The Latymer School is the geographic zone Enfield uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, though entry first depends on passing the selective admissions test. Enfield publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

Entry to The Latymer School is selective, and applicants must pass the relevant admissions test. Among qualifying applicants, Enfield may use distance or catchment area as a tiebreaker when the school is oversubscribed. Check the admissions policy for how the selection and distance criteria interact.
