Join Pate’s Connect and link up with your old school friends and share your stories http://community.patesgs.org/ "I always think that one of the measures of a good school is how much former pupils want to keep in touch with their old school. In that respect we at Pate's are very fortunate, and one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job is that I often have the chance to meet and talk with former pupils. It is always a pleasure to see former Pate's pupils, and so please do not hesitate to visit us in the flesh as well as virtually"

On 30 June and 1 July, we celebrated Pitch in for Pate’s .

Over the 36 hours, students and their families, Old Patesians and the wider community joined in with various challenges to help ensure Pitch in for Pate’s was a huge success.

As a result of Pitch in for Pate’s, we achieved an incredible 283 donors and raised a phenomenal £49,168! Thank you so much to everyone that has supported this campaign.

It was wonderful to welcome so many Old Patesians and their families to our joint Class of 2001 and Class of 2006 Reunion on Saturday 27 June.

Celebrating their 25th and 20th anniversaries, former students spent the afternoon catching up with old friends, sharing memories and reminiscing about their time at Pate's – with plenty of cake enjoyed along the way!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special.

Our next reunion will take place on Saturday 10 October 2026, when we look forward to welcoming anyone who started at Cheltenham Grammar School or Pate’s Grammar School for Girls in 1975, 1976 or 1977 (as well as those who joined these year groups along the way).

Last week, we were delighted to welcome back Old Patesians Jo Hamilton and Natalie Wang to talk with our current Year 12 students.

Jo is currently enjoying a gap year before heading off to LSE to study Law this autumn, while Natalie has just completed her first year studying History and Politics at LSE.

A huge thank you to both Jo and Natalie for giving up their time to share their experiences, advice and insights from the past year. We're sure our students found it incredibly helpful as they start thinking about their own next steps!

It is a privilege to witness the lasting impact of our sporting and co-curricular programme on young people both on and off the field.

There is still time to Pitch In and help ensure these exceptional experiences can continue for current and future Patesians.
