Taking part in Caterham’s EDGE in Action Day 22nd May 2026 Academic Caterham Family of Schools Copthorne joined other Year 5 pupils from across the Family of Schools as they came together for EDGE in Action: From Ideas to Impact, a collaborative innovation and entrepreneurship challenge focused on making a positive difference in the world around them. Hosted at Caterham School in partnership with Enactus UK and Next Gen Leaders, an entrepreneurial education charity, the event brought together pupils from our family prep schools to work in mixed school teams, exploring real-world social and community challenges before developing and pitching their own creative solutions. Throughout the day, the children demonstrated excellent teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills, while also growing in confidence as they shared and refined their ideas. For Copthorne Prep pupils, the experience was an exciting opportunity to collaborate with peers across the wider Family of Schools and take part in a hands-on learning challenge that encouraged creativity, empathy and innovation. It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm and imagination shown by all involved as they worked together to design solutions aimed at making a positive impact. The event also provided an inspiring introduction to the wider EDGE curriculum that continues through to Sixth Form at Caterham and the collaborative, future-focused learning experiences pupils will encounter as they continue their educational journey within the Caterham Family of Schools. Those choosing the through school pathway to Caterham senior school will also be able to choose the new EDGE GSCE equivalent qualification alongside their GSCE subjects. The pioneering Key Stage 4 course has been developed in partnership with Nottingham University Business School and Enactus UK and is designed to fill the skills gap plus prepare young people for an AI and technology-based future.
