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.

Amazing things happen when we work together!
A chance conversation between our Facilities Manager and Chatsworth Schools Head of Estates, Kevin Costello, resulted in the offer of a table tennis table from Chatsworth Schools stablemate Hall School Wimbledon.
With a donation from the PTA for transport costs (thanks Leigh Cunningham), our newly installed Table Tennis Table is a huge hit with pupils and staff.
It just goes to show that team work really does make the dream work.

As we approach half term, a large group of senior pupils are heading off to Berlin, led by Mr Bath. During their time there, they will visit many of the historic sites in the city, meet with German schoolchildren and sample German food. I am sure they will have an amazing time, once they’ve got over the very early start at the airport! Wir wünschen ihnen einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Berlin.

Gardening Club have had a busy few weeks.
We have launched a competition to see who can grow the heaviest crop from a single seed potato. They have planted their potatoes and are responsible for its care until we harvest and weigh shortly before the end of term.
This week they were busy sowing seeds. Hopefully, with care and attention, we will have a variety of fruit and vegetable seedling before long. #schoolgardening #rhsschoolgardeningawards #rhsschoolgardening #schoolgardensrock #schoolgardenclub #schoolgardensmatter

****Chatsworth Schools appoints Charles Stafford Northcote as Head of Pattison from September `24****
Chatsworth Schools is delighted to share the appointment of Mr Charles ‘Charlie’ Stafford Northcote as Head of Pattison from September 2024. Charlie is a much-loved and valued member of the Pattison team already and an experienced and innovative school leader having been Head at Leicester Prep and St. Bede’s, Bishton before joining Pattison.
Graeme Delaney, current Pattison Head and Director of Education, Chatsworth Schools will remain Executive Principal at Pattison to support Charlie and Pattison’s expansion project.
On his appointment, Charlie said “Taking over from Graeme as the Head of Pattison from September fills me with both excitement and a profound sense of honour. Over the years, having worked closely with Graeme, I`ve witnessed firsthand the remarkable impact and the transformative changes he has brought to our school."
On Charlie`s appointment, Graeme said "Charlie has a great track record, having run two schools, and his work as Head of ICT and Head of Creativity and the Tapestry, gives him the necessary background to make Pattison a beacon of pedagogical light in Coventry in the years to come."
On Graeme`s contribution to Pattison and headship so far, Chatsworth Schools` Founder and CEO, Anita GLEAVE said "He won’t want to dwell on it in this moment, but it is hard to overstate the enormous impact he has had on thousands of pupils and hundreds of staff in his career as a Head.
Fittingly, this impact has probably never been greater felt than at Pattison. His unwavering professionalism, dedication, expertise, and passion for ensuring the very best education for every child in his care is truly inspiring.
There will be time enough to thank Graeme for his tremendous service to Pattison but it would be wrong, today, not to congratulate him for three astonishing years ….simply the best!"

Eco team carried out a litter pick on `Earth day` yesterday. They did the litter pick between the senior and prep buildings and Stoke Green, to make the area nicer for the public.
The theme for Earth Day this year was planet vs plastics. Thank you to Mr Hanks and Eco team for your kind selfless actions! Mrs Patria is also collecting used plastic pens/glue sticks for recycling in the science room and encouraging pupils to recycle.
