The Latimer Arts College is an 11 to 18 secondary school in Barton Seagrave, Northamptonshire.
The Latimer Arts College opened in 1976 as Latimer School.
In 1998, the College received a ã1.7 million grant to build a community performing arts centre â The Masque Theatre â and, subsequently, became a specialist performing arts college, rebranding to Latimer Community Arts College.
In 2007, the College changed its name to The Latimer Arts College â as it is known today.
Since 2019, the College has been the only local authority-maintained secondary school in Northamptonshire.
The most recent Ofsted inspection, from April 2023, stated "The Latimer Arts College continues to be a good school".
In 2025, it was ranked as the eleventh best-performing state secondary school in Northamptonshire, based on an above average Progress 8 score at GCSE. In 2024, the average A Level grade attained by Sixth Form students was C+, placing the college seventh among state sixth forms in Northamptonshire.
The Latimer Arts College is the base for The Masque Theatre, a community performing arts centre operated on behalf of the College by Schools Plus. The Masque Theatre has a 200-seat theatre, drama and dance studios, music rooms, recording studios, and a meeting and conference room.
The former community centre was refurbished and opened as the new 'SixthForm@Latimer' building on 9 December 2024, with dedicated spaces for both studying and socialising.
