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 8 have been exploring the science of colour as part of their topic on light. Using prisms, they investigated how to create a spectrum and explained how white light can be split into different colours. Pupils also carried out investigations using coloured filters, helping them understand why objects appear coloured. A bright and engaging week of practical science!

This week, Priam brought in a fascinating collection of fossils he found during a beach trip over the holidays. He also shared a short piece of writing explaining what he discovered and what he had learned about fossils. His enthusiasm was infectious as he proudly told the class all about his findings — a brilliant example of independent learning and curiosity in action!

As part of their topic on the human skeleton, Year 7 pupils have been researching the function of different bones in the body. They were fascinated to examine real bones during the lesson, bringing their learning to life in a very hands-on way. In the next lesson, pupils will build on this knowledge by exploring and describing different types of joints. A fantastic start to understanding the framework that holds us all together!

Year 7 have begun their journey into the world of Excel spreadsheets, learning key terminology and getting to grips with how cells work. This week’s focus was on understanding how to manipulate cells and exploring what content can be entered into them. To put their new knowledge into action, pupils were challenged to create images using the spreadsheet cells — with some wonderfully creative results! A fun and imaginative start to their Excel learning.

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!
