At Copthorne Preparatory School we are proud of our academic achievements as well the opportunities we provide for children to achieve success in all areas of the curriculum. We help to develop each child's confidence, to raise self-esteem and to make children feel good about themselves. Nothing does this more than children enjoying success in all areas of school life. This is why sport, art, music, IT, DT and drama are all just as important as the pursuit of academic excellence.
