Pre-prep

Ages four to seven are a very formative period for your child and Copthorne life is like no other. Days are filled with learning, fun, creativity and laughter. Pre-Prep days buzz with happiness, excitement and a quest to discover not only the world around, but also the strengths and characters that lie within.

The pre-prep is next to the Nursery and just down the path from the prep school, in a self-contained area with its own playground, two big climbing frames and one of the biggest sandpits in the area. Your child will also use the main school facilities including the chapel, the dining room and theatre, all weather pitch, the sports hall, swimming pool, woods and the extensive playing fields.

We offer a broad and exciting curriculum for the liveliest and most enquiring minds. We place great emphasis on learning to read and thinking mathematically and scientifically – language, maths and science are core subjects. Your child will also be introduced to history, geography, religious education, French, art and crafts, information technology, forest school, music and physical education.
