Welcome to all Pate’s parents from the Pate's Parents’ Association (PPA) Committee!
The committee is a team of parents such as yourselves elected to keep the PPA on the move. By the very fact that you are a Pate’s parent you are already a member of the PPA, a registered charity.
Our aim is to do all we can to advance the education of our children by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education at the School – this means lots of fundraising which in turn needs lots of volunteers and support from our members! Our aim is to keep you informed of our fundraising activities and to make it is easy as possible for you to volunteer to help at school events. We are open to all offers of help - please feel free to email us with ideas, suggestions, offers and thoughts. We look forward to hearing from you!

We hold Committee Meetings every half term and hold our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the autumn term each year. Due to the current situation, the 2020 AGM was held on Wednesday 7th October on Zoom and we were thrilled that so many of you could join us - thank you for attending! As restrictions ease and guidance permits, we will plan for our committee meetings to take place on site and will also offer a Zoom option to those members who want to be involved from home. Unfortunately due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, we have had to cancel our Parent Social Evening & Meeting which was due to take place on Thursday 24th June 6 pm - 8 pm in the Refectory. We will reschedule this for early in September and will let you have further details as soon as we have them.
