What the school offers its staff
Learning at Pate's
Pate's is a unique and special place to learn. We take a holistic view of learning, emphasising the rewards of deep understanding of the subject, instilling a love of learning and its challenges. We aim to cultivate in our students life long skills of aspiration and resilience, setting challenging but manageable tasks and using appropriate praise to build pupil self-esteem. We ask students to see failure as a key part of the learning journey. Students and staff alike are encouraged to take risks and to try new things, to be creative, solve problems and to inspire others around them. We recognise the importance of metacognition and reflection, and we encourage students to use a wide range of thinking approaches. We have high expectations of staff and students alike; our students are encouraged to take responsibility, articulate views, ask questions and lead their peers. Collaboration, feedback and support also sit at the heart of our Pate’s Learning Framework, our community's agreed definition of world class learning that sits visibly in every classroom. However, learning isn't restricted to the classroom environment; our students equally develop their skills in the broader contexts of co-curricular activities and self study.
