THE CONTEXT FOR THE FIVE YEAR PLAN

Repton has an educational story to tell reaching all the way back to Anglo-Saxon England, when it was the capital of Mercia and home to King Offa.

The Repton School of today dates from 1557, when it was founded by Sir John Port. Repton is therefore older than many of our most long-established schools and yet different in how fast it moves with our times:

• E xcellent academic results at every level.

• Full boarding ethos, fully integrating our day pupils into the all-important House life.

• Outstanding and sector leading pastoral care.

• International reputation for sporting success.

• B uildings and grounds demonstrate seamless mix of ancient and modern (£30m investment already in awardwinning design).

• Committed, skilled staff with career enhancement opportunities.

• E stablished internationally with a growing Repton family of schools across the Middle East and Asia and with plans for other parts of the world, the opportunities present themselves for global collaboration in teaching and learning best practice, for example Latin online from UK or debate competitions involving all our schools.

• Further development of our family of schools across the UK, demonstrating that like-mindedness rather than geography is our guiding principle.
