Ensuring that our pupils have the skills and knowledge to thrive in a fast-changing world, alongside a first class academic education, is one of our core priorities.
Our Global curriculum adopts an enquiry led approach to learning so that our pupils can explore and apply knowledge and skills in context to real life situations, giving them a better understanding of their place in the world.

We believe that when children are happy, inspired, and supported, they thrive; not only in their learning, but in their growth as confident, curious, and compassionate individuals. Our aim is to create an environment where every pupil is empowered to explore their potential, embrace challenges, and develop the skills and character needed to flourish in an ever-changing world.
At Copthorne Prep, we are proud to lead the way in educational excellence as part of an award-winning approach to learning and teaching. We are ambitious for our pupils, but above all ensure learning is fun. Our teachers aim to kindle a passion for learning, for self-reflection and self-challenge, creating a holistic learning environment where children feel comfortable and hungry to extend their learning.
As part of the Caterham Family of Schools, pupils in Year 5 benefit from early offers to Caterham School. The Early Offer pathway at Copthorne Prep strengthens and smooths the transition for pupils who would thrive at Caterham School.
This removes the hurdle of the 11+ entry exam, with offers awarded in the Summer Term of Year 5.
Come and experience for yourself what makes a Copthorne education unique.
We would love to welcome you our School at an upcoming visitor morning or private tour.
