SCROLL DOWN for CONTENT Home | About Our School About Our School The Richard Pate School is an outstanding independent day preparatory school and nursery for boys and girls aged 3 to 11 years.
Set in a beautiful 11-acre semi-rural site in Leckhampton on the outskirts of Cheltenham, it is a happy and aspirational school offering a love of learning, breadth of opportunity and a strong sense of community and fun. My sincere thanks for taking the time to find out about our wonderful school.
It is a community that I couldn't be more grateful to be a part of, and a place that we are immensely proud of. In my experience, when you step into a school or nursery building, you can often get a sense quite quickly as to whether or not it is a place where you feel a sense of belonging. Is there a warmth to the interactions? Is there a buzz of curiosity, learning and fun?
Are staff enjoying being engaged with and celebrating the children? Does it feel as though children are absolutely at the heart of the organisation?
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
