The Richard Pate School, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Independent school for ages 3-11

The Richard Pate School, founded in 1946, forms part of the Pate's Grammar School Foundation, a charity dating from 1574.

In 1987, the school was relocated to an excellent eleven and a half acre semi-rural site on the southern outskirts of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Improved facilities since relocation include an all-weather surface for games, a new music school, computer suite, library, science lab, language room, art room, conservation area for environmental studies and an adventure play area.

All national curriculum foundation subjects are taught with good SEN provision for both the under-achiever and the gifted and talented child. A plethora of extra-curricular activities operate during lunch break and after normal school.

Children are thoroughly prepared for both grammar and independent school entry at 11+.
