ENTRANCE PROCEDURE: Having visited our school and met the headmaster, you will be invited to register if you feel Copthorne Prep is the right school for your child. Having registered, your child will be invited to a taster experience depending on their age. Children joining reception and above will spend time with their peer group during which some assessment work will be carried out in reading, writing, spelling and maths. Subject to availability, assessments and school reports, a place will be offered.
School Philosophy: Copthorne Prep School has developed an outstanding reputation for helping children to realise their full potential. By providing opportunities for all to succeed, children leave us as confident individuals, well prepared for their progression to senior schools of their choice. We inspire all our pupils to become lifelong learners, responsible global citizens and the very best that they can be. Simply, we develop confidence, provide opportunity and realise potential.
Academic Record: Copthorne Prep has an outstanding reputation for helping children successfully gain entry into the senior school of their choice and many of these children enter with scholarships. 50% of our year 8 children have received scholarships to their next schools over the last five years and 100% of children were successful at gaining a place in their first choice school. Extra-curricular: Our mission statement recognises that success does not just take place in the classroom. We value and actively encourage participation in a wide range of activities outside of normal lessons. We are proud of the huge range of extra curricular activities that are available. There are some clubs that run at different times after supper and will vary depending on the time of year. Swimming, forest activities, climbing, fencing, science, fitness, cricket, ICT, netball, art and comics are just a few of the activities on offer. Open Days: Every day is an open day. Seeing the school full of pupils
will give you a true sense of how special our school is.
