International families at Latymer Prep?

3 replies

theLadyWhoJumpsHigh · 10/11/2025 14:04

Just curious about the ratio of international families to Local families at Latymer prep as we are considering 7 plus next year for our DC. Is it different in the senior school?

My definition of "International" is parents who have lived in the uk for less than 5 years.

I find alot of London private schools have a significant international population.

Not really sure how I feel about it either way, so thoughts on this also appreciated?

Good international exposure to different European and non-european cultures vs my kid growing up with a stable English culture so to speak. My mum is German, so i'm not fully secure in my own "English-ness".

I've answered YABU for such a nuanced AIBU.

That's like me asking a question about the patrons of my local library. How many people do you think are on MN with a view on the number of international families at your local prep school. 🤔

Maybe the local Facebook group is a better place to ask this?

In all events I hope you find answer to your question, I just dont think AIBU is the right place for your query

Good idea about local Facebook. But I'm also asking for opinions on schools with lots of international families? vs mostly local. Also I made it a poll accidentally!

Why on earth would you care? Personally I want my daughter to be in the most diverse environment possible and see/understand lots of different nationalities & cultures. Also, what do you mean by “stable British culture”?
