Sport

Sport plays a pivotal role in Pate’s school life, offering another area in which students can explore, discover and excel.

Pate’s Sport promotes physical fitness and wellbeing, develops teamwork and leadership skills and forges enduring friendships.

Our sports programme is dedicated to inspiring ambition and resilience among our students, and developing passions and talents that will extend far beyond their time at Pate's.

We offer a wide range of sports which enrich and complement the Physical Education and Games curriculum. Our offer evolves each season and year, with the aim of including all sporting abilities.

There is an abundance of opportunities to participate in House Sport competitions, and to represent Pate’s in fixtures against local schools and institutions from across the county and neighbouring regions. Our students make the most of opportunities to compete, as individuals and teams, at district, county, regional and national levels.

We offer a wide range of sports which enrich and complement the Physical Education and Games curriculum. Our offer evolves each season and year, with the aim of including all sporting abilities. Typically, our club and fixture focus shifts each term: 

We field various age group teams for competitive sports fixtures against other schools’ teams in these sports, as well as more occasional opportunities for boys' hockey, girls' football and cricket, golf, swimming, dance and table tennis. 

Our sports tours and ski trips are legendary, and extremely popular! Over the last two years, Pate’s students have visited South Africa, Wales and London for rugby, netball, and hockey, and adventured to Canada and Europe for snow sports.
