Pattison College
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Pattison is an independent, co-educational day school that was established as a Christian foundation in 1949 for pupils wishing to make a career in the theatre. Since then, it has broadened into a school offering an academic curriculum alongside opportunities to develop creative and performing talents through music, art, dance and drama. The school has been part of Chatsworth Schools since May 2019 and is organised into an Early Years Foundation Stage, a prep department for Years 1 to 6, and a senior school for Years 7 to 11. The school seeks to challenge pupils creatively, physically and emotionally, encouraging them to develop into confident, caring and successful young people. Respect, good manners, discipline and concern for others underpin the ethos, so that all members of the community are valued equally whatever their skills, talents, interests, abilities and backgrounds. Pupils come from a range of professional and business backgrounds in the Coventry area and reflect the area's cultural, ethnic and economic diversity. The school welcomes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and provides additional specialist support where needed, ensuring that every child has access to exciting and valuable learning experiences in a happy, safe and secure environment.
