The Coventry Preparatory School Ethos

When Coventry Preparatory School was founded in 1920 by Revd. Swallow, he wished to create a school that was a happy place in which children were cared for and in which they could grow, a home from home and a place to inspire learning. This still lies at the heart of the School. Visitors to Coventry Prep School frequently comment upon the School's happy, family atmosphere and the openness and friendliness of its pupils.

The maximum class size is 16 children. Coventry Prep School is not academically selective and yet through the dedication of its staff and careful nurturing of the individual it has high academic standards. At Coventry Prep the full range of talents are encouraged and celebrated. The School looks to inspire academic scholarship but also seeks to develop children's creativity, confidence and a love of sports and the outdoors. Scholarships are awarded for English and Mathematics but also Music, Art, and all-round ability.

Children entering the School at 7 years of age or transferring from the School's Pre-Prep to Preparatary Departments may be entered for Scholarships.

Scholarship examinations and assessments are held at the end of January.
