What The Good Schools Guide says..
Masses of time for enrichment; Tuesday afternoons are generally free for extracurricular activities, most of which are sixth form led. Pate’s is not exactly set in rolling parkland – it’s at the less glamorous end of Cheltenham and perimeter fences make the initial impression somewhat forbidding. Pupils remark on the helpfulness and availability of staff, and staff speak very well of the students - but no-one comes to Pate's without an enthusiasm for learning. The school takes the opinions of its students seriously - members of the student council sit as associate governors...
Thank the school
Parents and pupils often have cause to acknowledge the help and support they have received from their schools, for example in helping in the choice of further education or careers. "Say thank you" allows you to send a quick note of appreciation to the school in general or to an individual teacher.
This is a thank you to your school, teacher or careers adviser who helped you to get where you are now.

What The Good Schools Guide says
Headmaster
Since 2012, Mr Russel Ellicott BA. Read history at Royal Holloway and then completed his PGCE, became a teacher of history and PE first at The Crypt School in Gloucester, then at Marling School in Stroud before moving to Pate's in 2007 as deputy head. Married with two children. Teaches GCSE history. Passionate about cricket - and had carefully selected his headmaster’s XI for the Cricket Festival in the week that we were visiting.
Friendly, direct and effective. Doesn’t appear to be a man to thrust himself into the limelight - a careful, analytical listener who interrogates assumptions. Enthusiastic, organised and strategic. Keen to turn the school more 'outward', to be a 'magpie' of best practice in other schools and to go 'beyond outstanding'.
Says pastoral care...
