Pattison College is a non-selective independent school in the east of Coventry, England. Pattison College provides education for children aged 3 to 16 of all abilities. Pupils are taught in small classes, allowing for individual attention in a sheltered environment. The school was established in 1949.
In January 2006, Pattison College was placed seventh nationally, according to the Value Added Measure, which rates progress made from Key Stage 3 to GCSE. In 2004, it was eleventh for progress made from Key Stage 2 to GCSE and sixteenth in 2003.
The school underwent successful Ofsted inspection in November 2004 and January 2005 (Early Years). A 100% A-C GCSE result rate was achieved in 2004, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 & 1998 examinations.
The school is not academically selective and will accept pupils who it considers would benefit from a traditional education where discipline, hard work, consideration for others and good manners are an important part of the school ethos.
The performing arts (dance, drama and music) are an integral part of the curriculum in the prep school and feature strongly in the extra curricula activities in the senior school.

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
