SPIRIT OF PLACE

The entrance to Repton is an arch not a gate; it has invited people in for as long as it has been here. How we invite people in, and what, as part of a larger Repton community, can be achieved, must keep pace with the times.

The actions of all those many people: staff, pupils, parents, Old Reptonians and friends, will: Create a world-class educational experience for every one of our pupils.

Place Repton at the forefront of educational best practice in the UK and around the world.

Establish Repton as a global educational brand synonymous with developing rounded, grounded, unbounded young adults.

Define and confirm the quality of the Repton brand with clarity and confidence, nationally and internationally.

Objectives

To improve in Reptonians and Old Reptonians a culture of giving back, both to the school and to the wider world; a giving of time, of expertise, of money, of energy and of help when it is most needed by others, exemplified by an ambitious Partnership programme.

To ensure a Repton education is available to a growing number of those who will maximise all that it has to offer through life-changing bursaries that will create a lasting impact on not just the recipient, but our global community.
