HEADMASTER'S WELCOME
It is always a privilege to be Head of a school, but even more so when it is Pattison, a school with such a magnificent history where inspiration, aspiration and dedication have brought about the art of the possible in so many students who have passed through its doors. This is a very special school because it links a strong academic focus with a highly acclaimed performing arts pedigree, all brought together with a strong pastoral care for every student, from Nursery through to Academy.
Pattison is a non-selective school that offers excellent tuition and personal care where each student can shine and produce their best, in preparation for a bright future in whatever path they take after their time here.
It is a unique school, and only by visiting us will you see at first-hand all the positive strengths of the school and the enjoyment the students have in their learning and their creative skills. If you would like to see more, please contact Mrs Teresa Hanks at office@pattisons.co.uk or phone her on 024 7645 5031. We all look forward to welcoming you here.

This week, Year 5 and 6 have been exploring the fascinating relationship between area and perimeter. They were set the challenge of creating shapes where the area and perimeter are equal. After discovering that a 4 x 4 square met this unique criteria, pupils took their learning further by investigating compound shapes to find other creative solutions. A great example of mathematical reasoning and curiosity in action!

As part of their B4 Biology unit on cell division and growth, Year 10 pupils used plasticine to model the stages of mitosis. They not only demonstrated a clear understanding by explaining each stage, but also thoroughly enjoyed the creative, hands-on approach. Science and fun in perfect combination!

News from the Nursery: Sunshine, Symmetry, and Safari Adventures!
What a joyful week it’s been in Nursery! We`ve been making the most of the glorious sunshine with lots of outdoor play, where the children have been developing their gross motor skills on our exciting new equipment. It`s been a delight to watch their confidence grow as they climb, balance, and explore together.
Indoors, our creativity has been in full bloom! We had a wonderful time making butterfly pictures, inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar. As we explored the story, we also learned about the life cycle of a butterfly and had great fun experimenting with symmetry—using folding and mirror techniques to create vibrant, colourful artwork.
Our little artists were also busy painting their very own lions using paper plates and paints. This activity sparked some brilliant conversations about jungle animals, and the children`s imaginations truly came alive. One of the highlights of the week has been singing Down in the Jungle—a firm favourite that had everyone joining in with smiles and laughter.
We can’t wait to see which animals we’ll discover next!

Budding Artists in Reception!
Reception boys had a wonderful opportunity to learn the art of still life painting with watercolours, guided by none other than Mrs Humphrey, who is a talented artist in her spare time.
With care, focus, and lots of creativity, the boys explored shape, colour, and composition—and were so proud of their beautiful finished pieces!
It was a lovely session full of learning, inspiration, and artistic expression. Well done to our young painters!

Exploring Decimals and Diving into Algebra: A Week of Mathematical Discovery
This week in maths, our Year 5 pupils have been diving deep into the world of decimal numbers, exploring values up to three decimal places. They’ve been learning how to compare, order, add, and subtract these numbers with increasing confidence. To consolidate their understanding, the students have created vibrant and informative posters that clearly outline the steps involved in each process—an excellent way to reinforce learning through creativity.
Meanwhile, Year 6 have embarked on an exciting new topic: algebra. Their journey began with exploring number sequences and learning how to describe them using algebraic expressions, including the concept of the nth term. It’s been a fantastic introduction to more abstract mathematical thinking, and the class has risen to the challenge with enthusiasm.
Well done to both year groups for their hard work and curiosity in maths this week!
