SPORT OBJECTIVES

To make Repton the most successful, academic, sporting school in the country.

To ensure that we always offer a sports programme for all abilities: a structure of access and expertise that embraces the intensity of an elite sport programme, the pride in representing the School, the enjoyment of involvement in House sport and the personal satisfaction of physical exercise.

To continue national and international success through the appointment of inspirational coaches of proven pedigree.

To attract talented pupils from across the country and from around the world to the promise of sporting excellence and a proven academic track record that creates pathways to professional sport, to universities in the UK and, increasingly, to colleges in the USA.

To underpin the centrality of sport to wellbeing.

To focus on a co-educational approach to sporting excellence.

To offer an unrivalled breadth of opportunity for our pupils through Repton Hockey Club, Repton Swimming Club and Repton Tennis and Rackets Club but also through our connections with professional football and cricket clubs.

To use our sports credentials in our widening access strategies.

Plans To Deliver On Objectives

Refurbishment of Fives Courts.

Two 3g Astro Football Pitches

There will be two new 3G pitches dedicated to football (as shown in these architect visuals). This facility will dramatically improve the efficiency and effectiveness of training and coaching for girls’ and boys’ football.
