Our Impact

We have previously donated £9,500 to support the OED with the construction of an outside classroom and additional climbing equipment for the new climbing wall. The new climbing wall is significantly bigger than the previous one, allowing larger numbers of climbers and instructors to climb at any one time. Climbing Club now operates after school every day, and is a favourite taster activity at Open Days and Induction Days!

We have also recently donated a massive £30,000 donation to the school’s fundraising appeal Pate’s Giving.

This donation was used to support many elements of school life, enabling a broad spectrum of opportunities to enrich students’ cultural capital, just some of which includes: funding provisions for the weekly TPM sessions, providing enrichment activities for Activities Fortnight, welcoming in external speakers, supporting the school House System, Outdoor Educational activities hosted in-school, inclusivity workshops, author visits, and supporting equal opportunities by funding purchases that benefit the personal development of students from across all subjects, genders and year groups. Our in-house fully funded TPM, Activities Fortnight and House Drama performances are events, unique to Pate’s, that play a key part in the fabulous educational experience enjoyed by all of our children.

A significant proportion of this £30,000 donation was raised by our 100 Club fund. Are you able to help us to grow this valuable income stream by becoming a member? Please see the 100 Club page here for further information.

A HUGE thank you for your ongoing support – the Friends of Pate's would not be able to do this without you!
