Former Parent Evening Courses

Welcome to Former Parent Evening Courses at Latymer Upper School!

Developed and run by former parents for our current and former parent community 9 years ago, our evening courses have been thoughtfully crafted to provide a unique and tailored learning experience.

Our classes are taught by some of Latymer’s most experienced and popular teachers, who bring expertise and passion to each lesson. With an emphasis on learning in a relaxed environment at school without the pressure of homework!

Subjects for 2024 include:

Parents’ Evening History class
‘The British Empire Unexamined’ with Jonathan White, Head of History at Latymer Upper School

LAST FEW PLACES – 5 week course every Wednesday, starting on 4 September from 7-8.30pm

This is the second of a three part series.  These five lessons will look at key questions such as the distinctiveness of British approaches to colonialism  and the best news is that there is NO examination at the end!
