Values and Vision

Patcham High is a fantastic school and I am hugely privileged to be its Headteacher. We are aspirational, proud and successful. Our children are brilliant and their achievements are remarkable. We see the potential in everyone and we are ambitious for all. Our school is values driven and inclusion is at the centre of all that we do. We do not turn our back on any child.

We aim to develop well-balanced sixteen-year olds, ready to go out into the wider world, to lead successful and fulfilling lives and to contribute, positively and generously. We place great importance on high quality relationships, teamwork and a ‘can do attitude’. Our students have hopes for the future and we want to make sure they are qualified with our help and support to make the right choices.
