Welcome to Pattishall Church of England Primary School
We are a hidden gem set in a beautiful, rural location.
Just 15 minutes west of Northampton, 15 minutes east of Brackley, 7 minutes north of Towcester and 15 minutes south of Daventry, our small school with big ambition is a hop-skip and a jump from the A5. Our school is set in the heart of tranquil sheep fields, yet close to a busy commuter route.
Put your heart and soul into everything that you do!

Our curriculum is designed to serve our community
PPS: It is all about the outdoors. As a rural school located in the heart of farming communities, we actively include outdoor learning and Forest School into our curriculum, for all year groups, every year.
PPS: We love to perform! With a strong choir, brass band and over a third of the school learning an instrument, we value the benefits of the performing arts across the curriculum.
PPS: We play to win! The benefits of competitive sport on both health, resilience and academic success are well documented. We ensure that all children have the opportunity to compete and to develop excellent sportsmanship.
PPS: Everyone is included. We are passionate about our purpose as an educational establishment that has been here since 1684. We strive to ensure that all children succeed at meeting their personal goals.
PPS: We can change the world... Through a sense of local and global citizenship, we instil in our learners that small changes make a big difference. We work together to help each other succeed.
PPS: Passion, Purpose. Success. We ensure that equality, diversity and equity are woven throughout our curriculum, so that our children have the knowledge to change the world for the better.
We see the bigger picture
During their time at Pattishall CE Primary School, children become part of a rich tapestry of learning that encompasses so much more than the National Curriculum.
They are offered experiences that form life -long memories and lead to academic excellence, with no learner left behind.
Our nurturing ethos, approach to self-regulation, aspirational expectations for all children and carefully crafted curriculum sees us with results above the national average.
Everything we do is done with passion and purpose
As a Church of England School, our whole ethos is firmly rooted in Christian values.
Nurture is at the heart of our ethos and every decision we make is child-centric and made with love.
We recognise children's behaviour as their way of communicating how they feel, sometimes when they don't have the words to express themselves and our Nurturing Positive Behaviour Policy reflects this.
We use Zones of Regulation with all children to enable them to develop a way of communicating how they are feeling as well as giving them the tools to self-regulate, so they are in the green zone and ready to learn.
