Repton School

Repton School Repton School is a thriving co-educational independent day and boarding school for children aged 13 to 18 in the heart of England.

With around 650 pupils, the school is large enough to create a ‘buzz’ but small enough for all to flourish and to know one another. There are ten Boarding houses and all meals are taken within them, further reinforcing the family and caring atmosphere. Repton encourages a conscious equilibrium in all things, encouraging pupils to adopt a healthy balance between their studies, sport, activities of

all kinds and rest, so that they can emerge as rounded, multi-faceted individuals. The sense of balance that every Reptonian – from the age of 3 to 18 - benefits from is shaped by our five pillars: Pastoral Care; Academia; Sport; Extra Curricular and our Spirit of Place. Our pupils achieve in the classroom because they never have to prioritise academic achievement over their love of theatre, their aptitude for sport or their passion for music. Repton School is a very special place to study. Founded in 1557, the co-educational school is an integral part of the village of Repton in South Derbyshire and is based around a 12th Century Augustinian Priory and its stunning Garth and Cloisters. With 1000 years of education history behind us, the traditional values of encouraging pupils to aim high whilst showing respect for all are still of utmost importance, however, Repton is undoubtedly modern in terms of practice and outlook.

We are incredibly proud to share that Frasier Steward has achieved the King’s Scout Award. As the highest honour in scouting for ages 16–24, it is awarded to just 200 scouts globally each year.

For Frasier, this represents a journey that began when he first joined scouting at age 6. To earn it, he completed his Gold DofE requirements, logged 24 nights away, and delivered 6 distinct projects across International, Values, and Community challenges.

More than just a set of tasks, this award reflects a lifelong commitment to the core values of Integrity, Respect, Care, Belief, and Co-operation.

Repton is a place where creativity never stands still. Our pupils are encouraged to express themselves freely while working alongside talented performing arts specialists and musicians, developing both their skills and character.

These clips, taken from Gaiety in the Garth and our Upper Sixth Leavers’ Concert, offer just a glimpse of the dedication and talent that lie at the heart of life at Repton.

Alex Richards, Managing Director at Hollaway Studio and the creative mind behind the Cloisters 1557 Cafe, visited Repton School last week to share the story behind the design and development of this remarkable space.

From colour palettes and wood panelling to uncovering the ruins of a former Priory, Alex offered a fascinating insight into the architectural vision and craftsmanship behind the project.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the history and design of a space that has become a much-lived hub for socialising and study within the Repton community.

Happy Mental Health Awareness Week!

This year’s theme is action, so we asked our pupils what actions they take to support their mental wellbeing. Their answers included spending time with friends in Cloisters, exercising, creating watercolour paintings, and enjoying time with animals.

At Repton, the health and wellbeing of our pupils is at the heart of school life. Nicola and Lucy work tirelessly to ensure Repton remains a safe and nurturing environment. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and caring team.
