HEADMASTER'S WELCOME
At Pattison, we believe that education is about far more than academic achievement—it’s about helping young people discover who they are and who they might become. We nurture individuality, encourage curiosity, and support pupils as they grow in confidence and character.
Pattison is a small, independent school with a long and proud heritage in the performing arts, developed into a broader, creativity-led education with strong academic foundations. We prepare pupils not only with knowledge, but with the adaptability, resilience, and empathy they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. 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.
Alongside our creative strengths in performing arts 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.
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.
Mr Jason Lewis
Head
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.
💐📚 A Special Moment at the Coventry Festival of Books 📚💐
We were incredibly proud of Year 4 pupils, Evie-Grace, who represented Pattison School at the opening of the Coventry Festival of Books, where she had the honour of presenting flowers to Pauline Black OBE, who was representing His Majesty The King in her role as Deputy Lieutenant of the West Midlands.
The festival is the brainchild of former Pattison pupil, Dexter O’Neill, and it was wonderful to see our school community connected to such an exciting cultural event in the city. From welcoming distinguished guests to celebrating a love of literature, the opening ceremony was a memorable occasion for all involved.
Well done, Evie-Grace, for carrying out your role with such confidence, poise and professionalism. We are sure this is a moment you will remember for years to come!
Congratulations to Dexter and everyone involved in bringing the Coventry Festival of Books to life – a fantastic celebration of stories, creativity and the power of reading.
