Well-Being

Birthday celebrations are back!

We are now able to celebrate the children’s birthdays with them, as long as we follow these requirements:

  • Individualised treats (cupcakes, donuts, etc) can be brought in either at the start of the day or the end of the day
  • No Nuts! Please ensure that any food items sent in do not contain nuts, or any traces of nuts. Please check the ingredients.

· No candles

· The birthday treats must be individual portions – teachers will not be able to cut pieces of cake to be given out.

Please liaise directly with your child’s class teacher to inform them if you will be bringing in treats for your child’s birthday.

Parent Home Language Helpers

The Parent Home Language Helpers (PHLH) is an initiative in which parents support the learning through the use of their Home Language. For example, our wonderful PHLH are great at coming in and sharing a story in their home language, or helping learners understand more about other languages and cultures. If you would like to be part of the PHLH, please leave your details here and we will get back to you. If you have any questions, or would like to find out more about this, please contact Ms. Ondine at onul@patana.ac.th

Loi Kratong

Students are invited to come to school dressed in traditional dress on this day. If you need some guidance on where to find a Thai outfit for this, you can shop online at Shopee children Thai costume. If you prefer to look for things in person, Pratunam area , Tesco, Big C or small shops at local markets are worth exploring.

We are delighted that we can once again help with your recycling and accept items from home for our junk modelling boxes. We appreciate boxes, cardboard rolls, containers of all shapes and sizes and anything else that you know will spark creativity. Please ensure that things are rinsed and clean.

General Information

PTG Reps and Get Togethers

If you would like to get in touch with the PTG, we have a Primary representative and a Year 2 representative. Their contact details are as follows:


School shoes

As part of their Patana school uniform, our students wear plain black shoes with no coloured trim.

If your child is still coming to school in coloured trainers or shoes, please purchase plain black school shoes over the half term break.

Shoes should support healthy foot growth.

All shoes require at least a strap to keep the shoe firmly in place. No ballet pumps.

Children can wear lace-ups if they can tie up their laces independently.

Plain black school shoes can be sourced in many shops and department stores.

If your child has to wear other shoes for a specific reason, please let us know.

These photographs are all examples of suitable plain black shoes.
