A message from Headmaster Russel, Ellicott:

I am very proud that, once again, Pate’s has been recognised by the Sunday Times ‘Parent Power’ report as the top school in the South West. We remain the only school to have been awarded the national prize twice, in 2013 and 2020, and now for a third time, and our continued success has been noted in the report. I was delighted to attribute our ongoing achievements to the culture of the school. We support and look after each other, we push boundaries - we do things differently, and I am determined that Pate’s retains a feeling of fun and celebration. The staff at the school are amazing and this recognition is testament to their hard work and dedication, often doing things that are beyond what we could expect of them. We are lucky to have them leading our learning with such dynamism and creativity.
