Can you help us raise the £150,000 we need by the end of August 2025?

For the last nine years we have been actively fundraising as we began to feel the impact of decreasing Government funding and finding ourselves, like many other schools, facing significant financial pressure. Even though we'll be receiving additional funding this year, it's similar to that received in 2009/10 which is simply not enough.

There is absolutely no other option but to 'fill the funding gap' by continuing to fundraise in 2024/25.

This vital additional income stream has been instrumental in allowing us to continue to provide our students with the best education possible and avoiding sweeping cuts to their school experience. We want to ensure that the excellent academic experience, pastoral provision and extra-curricular opportunities remain at least at current levels during this academic year.

We are asking our generous parents, alumni and the wider Pate’s Community to continue supporting us again this year and helping us achieve our challenging goal of raising the

£150,000 we need by the end of August 2025.

We hope we can count on your support!
