A Family Community

One of the most notable aspects of Richard Pate is the deep connection people feel for the school community. The older children have a great affinity for the younger members of our school family and are able to help out through assisting at playtime or acting in their roles as Monitors or Buddies.

PASTORAL

Our community is based upon respect, good manners and fair play. We are committed to providing a safe and caring environment that is free from disruption, violence and any form of harassment and where our pupils can learn and play and can talk about their worries, confident that an adult will listen and offer help.
