THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY

For centuries Pears School and the Old Priory formed the locus of operations of the school day. In recent years the School has spread somewhat to other parts of the village, creating an opportunity for the renaissance of these magnificent buildings.

We now have a bold plan to bring the fulcrum of activity back within the Arch. The plans show an exciting amalgam of the ancient and the modern, providing hugely improved working space, collaborative study facilities as well as flexible social and relaxation areas. A strength of these plans is that they pre-figure for our pupils the way work is increasingly being conducted in the offices of the future.

The Wellness Garden

Alongside the Grubber will be a Wellness Garden. We are conscious of the sheer pace of life at Repton where everyone’s day is tremendously busy. A place for a short stepping off into quiet will be a welcome addition for all our community and the best place for it is right here, where it is totally accessible to all.

The Grubber

The Grubber has always held a special place in the heart of Reptonians. It is now time not only to modernise but to expand. We plan to build two floors of modern, airy, lightfilled, comfortable space that will continue to be the ‘go to’ place for pupils, staff and an ever-increasing number of visitors of all kinds.

The Sixth Form Centre

Under Pears School we plan to convert existing classrooms into an entirely new facility. This will become a genuinely enjoyable social space, more suited to the lead up to University life.

FROM REPTON, PUPILS AND OLD REPTONIANS ACCOMPLISH THE OUTSTANDING –AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS TEAM PLAYERS.

We are proud of our academics, our entrepreneurs, our doctors, our business leaders, our Olympians, our international sportspeople, our premiership footballers, our test match cricketers, our linguists, our writers, our actors on stage and screen, our virtuoso musicians, choral scholars and creatives.

For all our pupils, we want their educational journey at Repton to be one that gives them a sense of place and balance, with the friends that matter and with the Arch as the symbolic gateway to their future.

“Repton is already a wonderful school. My responsibility and that of every single person here, whether teacher, pupil, support staff, governor, is to make it more wonderful still.

It is as simple as that. That is what we are here to do.

The objectives and plans that you see here will help us achieve that and it is where all our energies and money will be spent.”

A PERFECTLY BALANCED EDUCATION IN THE HEART OF ENGLAND.
