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.

We welcome children from the age of 3 into our school, and we are participating in the government 15 and 30-hour scheme. Children receive an excellent start to their educational journey.
A Seamless Journey from Prep to Senior School
At Pattison, education is a journey that develops over time. From the Prep School through to the Senior School, pupils are supported by a consistent ethos, strong relationships and a curriculum designed to build confidence, creativity and academic success.
This is our dance school section, with courses in all styles of dance offered, after school or on Saturdays. This is run by professionally trained dance teachers.
🌷🐰 Easter Celebration & Bonnet Competition! 🐰🌷
Last Tuesday, we were delighted to welcome parents into school for our joyful Easter Celebration, a wonderful moment of creativity, and Easter cheer!
Our pupils proudly took to the stage wearing their fantastic Easter bonnets, each one uniquely designed and bursting with imagination. From bright colours to clever themes, every creation reflected the children’s enthusiasm and hard work.
A huge thank you to all the families who joined us for the afternoon and helped make the judging of the Easter Bonnet Competition such a special occasion. The smiles, applause, and encouragement added so much to the celebration. Thank you also to the PTA for the donation of the craft materials used in the creation of these works of art.
Wishing all our pupils and families a very Happy Easter!

This week, Year 5/6 have been diving deep into the topic of climate change, exploring how it affects animals and habitats around the world.
Using AI, pupils interviewed a range of animal characters—including Nemo the clownfish, Flash the sloth, Pingu the penguin, and many more! Through these creative conversations, the children learned about the challenges each animal faces as their environments change.
Thankfully, Pingu reassured us that if humans act now, there is still time to protect these precious habitats. Noot Noot!
