Home School life Your child’s life at Copthorne Prep will be full, and fun. One of the key tenets of our purpose is to inspire curiosity, questioning and a love of learning. Overview This is only possible if your child is happily absorbed in a breadth of engaging experiences which capture the imagination. Whether joining us into Nursery, Reception or from Year 3 upwards, we ensure your child develops confidence in their learning, problem solving skills and wellbeing. We expand their horizons as they progress through Copthorne Prep and on to senior school, either through our seamless early offers to Caterham School or a range of senior schools. We provide an innovative and creative learning environment, designed to inspire your child to be the best life-long learner they can be. Your child will make memories, discover passions and talents, learn new skills and be encouraged to make the most of every opportunity.
