Basil Paterson Middle school is a small, local, independent school for boys and girls aged between 14-16. We provide a rigorous academic curriculum with a strong focus on examination success and are committed to the development of our pupils both as learners and as individuals.
By offering learners an individualised programme, which allows for personalisation, choice and flexibility, we enable our pupils to overcome the barriers and challenges they may have faced in their learning careers to date.
Our aim is to provide a personalised education for all our young people so they can leave us as independent, confident individuals who fulfil their potential and are able to contribute successfully to a wider society.
In partnership with parents and guardians, Basil Paterson Middle School aims to nurture each pupil to support them in self-development, independence and academic learning
We achieve this by:
We have a strong pastoral care function which is delivered by the senior management team as well as by the teachers themselves. As a small community we all play a role in guiding our learners through their education and put their well being at the forefront of everything we do.
Central to our educational ethos is the belief that the more time your child spends with their teacher, the more they will achieve. We are committed to providing small class sizes across our year groups.
We pride ourselves in creating an inclusive and respectful environment which is open to all. We strive for our learners to leave us as positive, well-rounded, confident young people, ready to make the next step forward in their lives.
We want to positively transform the lives of young people and help them reach their potential by providing a nurturing academic environment, a flexible personalised teaching approach, a modern curriculum and small class sizes.We treat all our pupils well, forming positive and supportive relationships. We are committed to engendering positive values in all learners which they can take with them into wider society.
We believe that all young people have the ability to achieve great things. Whatever the starting point of a learner we encourage everyone to strive for success and push the limits of their learning to fulfil their potential.We challenge learners to achieve success through clear goal setting and encourage pupils to work outside their comfort zone to reach these goals.
We have a culture of achievement and respect in which pupils are supported to overcome barriers, problem solve and help others.In all our interactions with parents and pupils we are honest. We act with integrity and transparency.We offer an approach to learning which is adaptable and can be moulded around the learners’ abilities, needs and personal circumstances.
The small classes at Basil Paterson allow us a high degree of individualisation which makes it possible to address the specific educational needs of every pupil.We are experienced in teaching pupils with specific educational needs and are able to tailor our teaching and assessment to all learning preferences.
