Year 7 Assembly on the History of Pate's

As the final event in our calendar of 450 anniversary events, the Sixth Form students in the Development & Alumni Committee delivered an assembly to the Year 7s about the school's history.

On the penultimate day of the Autumn term 2024, we were very pleased to be able to run an assembly to Year 7 and Year 8 students about the history of Pate’s. This held great significance in 2024 with it being the 450th Anniversary of Pate’s, and we felt it was appropriate to give a presentation to mark this milestone and contribute to the anniversary celebrations in this way.

We assummed that very few of the students knew anything about the school's history so we spoke in depth about Richard Pate, his role in the founding of Pate’s and highlighted notable periods in its 450 years of history. The students (and teachers!) were very engaged and loved the presentation, particularly the fun quiz at the end which tested how well they had listened and absorbed. We were very grateful to have the opportunity to share this important part of the institution of Pate’s and hope to share it with all future new students to the school.
