Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to Patcham High School.

It is a real privilege to lead such a vibrant, inclusive and ambitious school community. At Patcham, we believe every young person has incredible potential, and it is our job to help them discover it, nurture it and let it thrive.

Our motto, One Team, One Dream, captures the spirit of our school. We work together with students, staff and families to create a culture where every individual is supported, challenged and inspired to achieve their very best. Our core values of Pride, Respect and Success run through everything we do, shaping confident, curious and resilient learners who are ready to take on the world.

We are proudly comprehensive and unashamedly aspirational. Strong academic outcomes go hand in hand with personal growth, and we take great pride in both. We set high expectations and deliver the care, encouragement and excellent teaching needed to meet them.

Patcham High School is more than just a school. It’s a place where students feel they belong. It’s a place where character is built, friendships are formed, and ambitions are realised.

We are proud of our community and confident that here, every student can unlock their potential and shape a future full of possibility.
