HEADMASTER'S WELCOME
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family makes. At Pattison, we understand that this choice is about far more than exam results or facilities, it is about finding a place where your child will be known, supported and able to flourish as an individual.
Pattison is a small, independent school with a long and proud heritage in the performing arts, now developed into a broader, creativity-led education with strong academic foundations. We believe that creativity is not an add-on, but a way of thinking; one that builds confidence, communication skills, resilience and independence across all areas of learning.
What sets Pattison apart is our scale and our culture. Small class sizes allow our staff to know every pupil well, to recognise their strengths, support their challenges and help them grow in confidence and ambition. Our pupils are encouraged to perform, not only on stage, but in the classroom, in their thinking, and in the way they present themselves to the world.
Alongside our creative strengths in dance, drama, music and emerging digital media, we place real value on academic rigour, pastoral care and personal development. We are proud to be a school where pupils feel safe to take risks, where individuality is celebrated, and where success is defined as progress, confidence and character as well as grades.
Most importantly, Pattison is a close-knit, welcoming community. Families often tell us that their child is happier, more confident and more engaged in learning once they join us and that sense of belonging is something we work hard to protect as we grow.
I warmly invite you to visit Pattison, meet our pupils and staff, and see for yourself what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.
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.
