OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF REPTON SCHOOL

This document demonstrates our commitment to becoming outstanding in every area of school life. It shows our determination, dynamism and ambition to be, without fear of contradiction, sector-leading in all that we do.

Our strategic plan is laid out by area of activity, but it is important to note that we will function at our best when everything interweaves – our excellence in sport helps to build our academic achievement, our multi-dimensional pastoral care underpins performance in every aspect of the school, our arts, drama and music form rounded, culturally aware young adults who are ready to become global citizens. On top of this, our transformational bursaries have immediate benefit for all, not just the recipient.

Sustainability and the wise husbanding of energy are now key factors for all schools. We cannot reach a satisfactory outcome in small increments. That is why, as you can see on page 13 of this document, we have plans to build a ‘Decanting House’ which will enable the radical energy-saving renovation of all our Boarding Houses.

Our aim has never been continual growth in numbers. We will keep our student roll at 630, despite, at many entry points, greater demand for places than we are able immediately to satisfy. The reason is simple; at this number, and what that means for our House and class sizes, there can be recognition of potential and individual attention for each and every pupil.
