Saturday/Sundays (full boarders)

The routines on these days will depend on the organised activities, the number of children in the boarding house etc. so timings are always flexible. There is usually one trip out at the weekends, often two, to places of interest/fun/educational benefit. These could include London Museums/attractions, Brighton, bowling, cinema, foot golf, Tilgate Park, Crawley, Hever Castle, Portsmouth Historic docks etc. Most boarders find that the weekends are the highlight of boarding at Copthorne – imagine having all your friends around you with a mixture of organised fun activities and free time! Boarders also make use of the wonderful facilities we have here at Copthorne, including the swimming pool, sports hall, woods, tennis courts, climbing tower and playing fields.
