Honour the Founder....happy 504th birthday Richard Pate! 446 years after he founded his Schola Grammatica in the High Street, we are proud that Pate’s Grammar School continues to offer its students a rich and fulfilling education. As a very deserving recipient of 'The Sunday Times State Secondary School of the Year 2020' award, we hope that he would be proud of the school that we have today!
