WHAT THE GOOD SCHOOLS GUIDE SAYS…

“Repton sits comfortably among the top co-ed boarding schools for academic achievement and shines particularly brightly in terms of value added.”

THE REPTON VILLAGE COMMUNITY

Repton village is a thriving community renowned for its historic past. Once the former ancient capital of Mercia, the village now contains several shops including a post office and butchers, award-winning pubs, restaurants and takeaways. There are plenty of ways to get involved in village life, through one of the many sports clubs located at Repton’s Sports Centre or the community-run café, which operates at the newly refurbished village hall.

Heralded as one of the best places to live in South Derbyshire, Repton also offers plenty of spaces to escape and explore. Weekends can be spent walking amongst the beautiful countryside, cycling, and water sports on the River Trent or neighbouring reservoirs.

VOICES of REPTON

“Everything from the care that is taken of each child in house to the house music, drama and sport events means they really feel part of a family.”

Repton Parent
“Repton considers pastoral care to be a priority. The wellbeing of pupils is vital if they are to have a positive learning experience. Perhaps it is one of the strongest parts of Repton’s education.”

Repton Parent
“There is honestly nothing I would want to change about Repton. I’m in my last year now and have enjoyed every single day of my five years at Repton and wouldn’t change a thing. I really love the busyness of Repton; some might say the days are quite long but I think that’s great as there is no way one can feel bored or that you’re wasting time.”

Pupil
“My Latin teacher and Tutor has been very helpful, not only in teaching but in helping all aspects of my academic approach as well as giving me ongoing advice and support throughout my Oxbridge application.”

Pupil
“Teachers rotate which houses they eat in and it was evident from our unforced conversations over fish and chips and treacle pudding (yum) with the delightful boys in School House that they’re well accustomed to entertaining whoever lands at their table.”

“Parents love the formalities, heritage and traditions of Repton but equally value that ‘it’s not posh’.”
