Book a Tour
We warmly invite you to visit Pattison School and experience its unique atmosphere first-hand.
Whether you join us for an Open Morning or arrange a personal tour, your visit will begin with a warm welcome from the Head, who will take time to get to know you and your child.
You’ll then be guided around the school by current pupils, offering you an insight into daily life at Pattison — from the classrooms and creative spaces to the pastoral care that underpins our community.
We look forward to sharing our school with you.
Welcome to Admissions at Pattison School
Your child is unique. Their school should be, too.
At Pattison, we believe that education is not simply about knowledge, but about nurturing the whole person — intellectually, emotionally, socially, and creatively. As a proudly non-selective, co-educational school, we provide an inclusive and aspirational environment where each pupil is known, valued, and supported as an individual.
From our Nursery School, through to Sixth Form, our pupils grow in confidence, character and curiosity. They are encouraged to think independently, act with kindness and strive for excellence, not in competition with others, but as part of a culture that celebrates personal growth, resilience, and self-belief.
Our admissions process reflects who we are: welcoming, thoughtful, and personal. Whether you are visiting us for the first time or joining our community for the long term, we are here to listen, understand, and help you explore whether Pattison is the right place for your child to be happy, to learn, and to thrive.
A Word from our Head
“At Pattison, we work to understand each child for who they are, not simply what they can do. We don’t believe in shaping pupils to fit a mould; we believe in building the conditions for every individual to grow with confidence, creativity, and integrity. That sense of being known, encouraged and respected is what truly defines our school.”
— Charles Northcote, Head
Your Child's Admissions Journey
We understand that choosing the right school is a big decision — and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our admissions journey is designed to be as open, thoughtful, and human as the school itself.
Our bespoke and straightforward admissions process follows the following steps:
Taster Day(s)
This is not a test — it’s a chance to explore. Your child will spend time with their potential classmates and teachers, experiencing life at our school. It’s also a valuable opportunity for us to get to know your child as an individual.
We encourage families to reflect on questions like:
“Can I be myself here?”
“Will I be accepted and respected?”
“Is this a place where I can be happy and learn?”
