HEADMASTER’S Welcome
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Repton, a school that is both steeped in history and confidently forward-looking. Whether you are a new pupil embarking on an exciting educational journey or a parent entrusting us with your child’s development, you are joining a warm, close-knit community where every individual is valued and supported. There is an extraordinary sense of belonging that defines our school. This is not just a place of academic excellence and opportunity, but a true home from home where pupils thrive in an environment of mutual respect, encouragement, and ambition. The House system is the beating heart of our school, fostering a strong sense of family and continuity.
To our new pupils: I know that starting a new school can be both exciting and daunting. Questions will inevitably fill your mind – Where do I go for Geography? Will I make friends? What time is lunch? Rest assured, you will quickly find your feet. Repton is a community where people look out for one another, and you will soon come to appreciate the kindness, warmth, and camaraderie that define life here. Your happiness and success are of paramount importance to me and to every member of staff, whether they are teaching in the classroom, coaching on the sports field, nurturing your artistic talents, or ensuring that our beautiful school runs smoothly.
Repton is alive with opportunity. You will often hear me urging you to make the most of everything on offer here. Whether in the classroom, on the stage, in the laboratory, on the sports field, or beyond, you will be encouraged to push boundaries, discover new interests, and challenge yourself. I want you to leave here as intellectually curious, thoughtful, kind, and quietly confident individuals, ready to face the world beyond the Arch with resilience and purpose.
To our parents: We recognise that this transition is a significant moment for you as well. The teenage years are full of excitement, but also uncertainty, and we are here to support both you and your child every step of the way. Our pastoral care is exceptional, and your first point of contact should always be your child’s Housemaster or Housemistress. They, along with our dedicated team of staff, are here to ensure that your child flourishes. You are an integral part of our extended school family, and we warmly invite you to share in your child’s journey through concerts, sporting fixtures, productions, and events.
Mr Mark Semmence Headmaster

BELONGING to REPTON
You belong here in this House and in this School. You matter as a member of our community. Your interests, efforts, contributions and thoughts enhance the whole that is our Repton community. There are friends around and people to talk to when things don’t work out for you. Here, you can be happy and safe. There will be challenges to overcome but there will be chances to learn from them too. You can always reach out to older pupils who will have experienced many of the same thoughts and feelings you have and ask them for their advice.
Relish the opportunity to hang out with different year groups in House and eat with them in your House dining room. You, together with many others, can bemoan the tradition of fish Friday! We are a school community that embraces achievement, both individual and collective, but which also recognises the importance of celebrating the unexceptional in one another. Every day you can make a difference by smiling at someone as you approach the Arch, opening the door into the building, or chatting to someone in the queue of the JCR as you wait for your sausage roll. You are part of a community who can applaud when teams return victorious from National finals, when individuals get selected to play for their countries and when friends are given offers to study at some of the world’s leading Universities. You are also part of a community who can commiserate with each other in defeat and encourage each
other through disappointments. We are a community that cheers one another on and places a strong emphasis on mutual support and celebration of achievement in all its forms. You now form part of the heritage of our School and your time here will be marked by some of the traditions we share as a community. You will remember the time you stand together in the hauntingly beautiful Garth, shoulder to shoulder, housemate to housemate, in silence remembering the Old Reptonians who fought for your today.
You will remember the special occasions in Chapel when the whole School stood to sing “Dear Lord and Father” and you realised you already knew all the words. You will reflect on the moment you lined up on the starting line for Steeplechase and pictured your race to the gate, proudly sporting your House shirt and surrounded by a sea of colour from the other Houses. You will look back on the nights you walked from the cloisters onto the Pears School stage to sing your House Unison song in front of the whole School community – nerve wracking and exhilarating all at once. During your time here there will be unexpected moments which will form part of the special experience of your own individual School journey. You will know that you belong when you find yourself randomly chatting to teachers and pupils as you walk around school. You might surprise yourself too when you discover you are a talented chess player or find yourself surrounded by like-minded
pupils who share similar interests to yours. You will also feel that collective sense of belonging when you take part in a school production or play, became a member of a choir or an ensemble, create something for the fashion show or attend a talk with others who you realise are just as passionate about something as you are.
And when you leave through the Arch for the last time, and mark the end of your Repton career, you will know that you are always welcome to return again to your old School. Because your time here marks you and because you belong here in this House and this School.
Written by the School Prefects
Your House is at the heart of your Repton experience. It is where you will eat, study, socialise, and, for boarders, sleep. Each House has a dedicated Housemaster or Housemistress, Matron, and a team of Tutors to provide guidance and support. House dining fosters a family-like atmosphere, with meals providing an opportunity to build friendships and discuss daily events.
Your House at Repton
By now, you will likely know which House you’ll be joining. Over time, you’ll get to know them all. Your House is your home at Repton and it’s also where you’ll form lasting friendships and be supported by your Housemaster or Housemistress, Matron, and Tutors. Each House has its own traditions, but every Reptonian takes pride in theirs!

Settling In
Many new pupils have visited Repton before, but even if you haven’t, don’t worry! There’s plenty of support from House staff, Prefects, and fellow pupils who remember what it’s like to be new. You’ll also have a mentor – an older pupil who will guide you in your first year. Your year group will have the same questions, so share the answers and help each other out!
Feeling Homesick?
It’s natural – but there’s always someone to talk to, whether it’s a friend, your Matron (always ready with hot chocolate!), or your Housemaster/ Housemistress. Staying busy helps: head to the 1557 coffee shop, join a sports game, or explore activities in Art, Music, or DT. Focus on the present – before you know it, you’ll be the one helping new pupils settle in!
Making Friends
Making friends is easy when you:
Show interest in others you’ll find common ground and hear great stories.
Get involved in House life Reptonians love welcoming enthusiastic newcomers.
Be honest and respectful the best friendships are built on trust.
Staying in Touch with Home
In your first year, Houseparents look after your phone during the day and overnight. You can call home in the evenings and at weekends. International pupils can arrange alternative times to accommodate time differences. You’ll also have a school email, but nothing beats receiving (or sending!) a handwritten card.
Daily Routine
It takes a couple of weeks to settle into Repton’s timetable, but everyone follows the same schedule, so don’t
hesitate to ask if unsure. Lessons run throughout the day, with activities and sports in the afternoons on certain days. Evenings include Prep (homework) and extracurricular activities like music, drama or societies.
Your priority at first is to settle in. If you ever feel overwhelmed, reach out - there’s always someone ready to help. And remember, calling home when you’re well-rested (early evening is ideal) makes for a much better chat!
A typical school day might look like:
Breakfast: 7.45 am (Monday-Saturday, later on Sundays). Day pupils are welcome to join House breakfast.
Chapel: Wednesdays at 8.30 am; Sundays at 10.15 am (for boarders).
Lessons:
Begin at 8.40 am and end at 4.00 pm in summer timetable. There is a half hour morning break 10.35 am - 11.05 am.
Lunch: 1.00 pm in House (11.40 am on Saturdays). The main meal of the day, shared with staff and visitors.
Afternoon Activities: Sports, clubs, academic extension, community service, and CCF.
Prep (Homework): Supervised study sessions Monday to Friday, with additional evening activities.
Bedtimes: Staggered according to year group, beginning at 9.45 pm for younger pupils.
House Dining
Each House has its own chef, providing a balanced menu with varied meals. Breakfast options include cereals, fruit, and full cooked meals. Lunch consists of two courses, with fresh meat or fish, vegetables, and desserts. Evening meals are less formal and include options such as pasta bakes, jacket potatoes, fajitas, and salads. Houses also have kitchen facilities where pupils can make snacks.
House Spirit & Settling in
House spirit is a defining element of life at Repton. Pupils are encouraged to participate in House events, from sports and music events to cultural activities, fostering camaraderie. House Prefects and senior pupils play an important role in supporting new joiners, and mentors are assigned to younger pupils.
Day Pupils
Day pupils sign in by 8.15 am and may leave after fulfilling their school commitments at 6.00 pm, 7.00 pm, or 9.00 pm. They may stay later with permission to join in House or School activities. Attendance is required for lessons, Prep, and key House events. Absences must be reported to the House by 8.30 am.
On a Saturday, Day pupils can leave after their last school commitment, be that the end of morning lessons, lunch or a sports fixture, although many choose to remain in school for activities and social events. Day pupils may also leave at 5.45 pm on
a Wednesday evening (excluding the first week of Michaelmas Term).
Weekends
Repton is a seven-day-a-week school with a packed weekend programme.
Saturday afternoons are dedicated to school matches, and pupils can also enjoy the Sports Centre, Music School, or Art School. Saturday evenings offer social events, including inter-House activities and Sixth Form ‘Socials.’ The Junior Common Room (JCR) provides a relaxed space for Sixth Formers, and Upper Sixth pupils have limited access to village takeaway outlets.
Sunday Chapel is followed by a range of activities, from interhouse competitions and film screenings in the 400 Hall, to excursions such as go-karting, cinema trips, and visits to local attractions.
Weekends also offer the opportunity to see family and friends outside the School. Parents are very welcome to come and watch fixtures or to take pupils out for a meal, and, with their permission and in accordance with the School Rules, you can also spend some time away from Repton, including overnight. It is a good idea to plan these “Privilege Weekends”, especially when you first board, so that they are spread out over the term. We also know that it is important for new pupils to spend the first two weekends of your Repton career with us to help you settle in; don’t worry, there are plenty of organised activities to keep you fully occupied!
Privilege Weekends
Boarders may spend three Saturday nights outside school in the Lent and Summer Terms. There is also an Exeat each term, however the Michaelmas Term has two exeats and two Privilege Weekends. These Privilege Weekends begin after your last official commitment on Saturday and you may remain out of school until 9.00 pm on Sunday. It is also possible, by agreement with the Housemaster or Housemistress, to stay at home on Sunday evening too as long as you are able to return to school by 8.15 am on the Monday morning. They can be taken at any time convenient to you and your parents but school and/or house commitments take priority and must be fulfilled before going home. Your Housemaster or Housemistress will need to receive permission directly from parents in good time, preferably a week in advance but no later than 48 hours beforehand. If you are invited out as the guest of any pupil’s
parents, both sets of parents must contact the Housemaster/mistress to give permission and the host parents must accept responsibility for looking after you.
Personal Belongings and Facilities
Boarders initially share dormitories or study rooms, with senior pupils often having single rooms. Laundry is managed by House staff, with drycleaning available at additional cost.
Personal items, including passports and valuables, should be stored securely with House staff. We encourage parents to provide their child with a debit card for access to pocket money. Each House operates a system whereby you can deposit monies to enable your child to withdraw small amounts of pocket money as required, although this is cash only. Pupils should not have a large amount of cash on their person, in their bedroom or study.

PASTORAL S
Personal Safety
Your safety is our priority. Staff are always nearby, so don’t hesitate to ask for help if you feel uncomfortable or have concerns about anyone. Speak to your Housemaster/Housemistress if needed.
After 6.00 pm and in the dark, always walk with another pupil. If this isn’t possible, inform a staff member or House Prefect for assistance. Be extra cautious when crossing roads in the village and always use designated crossings. Do not use mobile phones or headphones while walking.
Personal Welfare
Repton offers plenty of support whether from friends, House Prefects, House staff, the Chaplain, pastoral leaders, or the School Counsellor. If you need to talk, there is always someone willing to listen. External contacts are also available on your House notice board.
If a concern cannot be resolved informally, you may submit a formal complaint to the Headmaster, who will investigate. Further external support is also available if needed.
Overseas Pupils
All pupils whose parents are based abroad must have an Englishspeaking guardian in the UK who can be responsible for arrangements at the beginning and end of each term
(transport to and from school, tickets, passports, visas etc.) and for the care of pupils during Half-Terms, exeats and in emergencies.
Ideally this should be someone local who can take an interest in the pupil’s welfare and life at school and who is prepared to attend parents’ meetings and support school functions such as plays, concerts and sports fixtures. Suitable guardians can be either a direct relative who is resident in the UK and over the age of 25 or a Professional Guardianship Company.
Whilst we cannot recommend any specific guardian or guardianship company, many of our parents consult The Association for Education and Guardians of International Students.

Please refer to the Guardianship Policy on the Repton School website for further guidance.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The School cannot and does not take responsibility for pupils outside term-time, but if difficulties with travel or timings of arrivals and departures do arise, please contact your son or daughter’s Housemaster/ Housemistress as soon as possible.
HEALTH and WELLBEING
Surgery
drop-in times
Monday - Saturday 8.30 am - 10.00 am 2.00 pm - 6.00 pm
Health and Wellbeing Centre
In addition to the ten resident House Matrons, Repton School has a professionally staffed and equipped Health and Wellbeing Centre. It is staffed on a shift basis by Lead School Nurse Nicola Blunt (Registered Children’s Nurse), School Nurses Julia Jenkins (Registered General Nurse) and Laura Blake (Registered General Nurse), and Jennie Rotstein (Healthcare Assistant). Lucy Hoines is our Pupil Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead and is available to pupils who are worried about their mental health and/or need support
and practical guidance. She works closely with pupils and their parents, as well as key pastoral staff, the Health & Wellbeing Centre staff, the School Doctor, the school counselling team and relevant external agencies. The staff provide individualised, holistic care for pupils, promoting good health and healthy lifestyles and provide emergency care for injured or acutely unwell pupils.
School Doctors
The School Doctors are based at Newhall Surgery, but a daily surgery (Monday to Friday) is held at the School Health and Wellbeing Centre. The members of the practice are: Dr Prabhakaran Pillai, Dr Mitesh Patel, Dr Mirza, Dr Natalie Jinks, Dr Siva, and Dr Diane Pipe. Parents are welcome to attend appointments. If your child
would like a chaperone, their Matron or the School Nurse will be able to accompany them.
NHS Registration
All boarding pupils are registered with our School Doctor. It is important that the registration form is filled in by boarders and returned promptly. If the NHS registration form is not filled in, we will register boarding pupils to ensure that they may receive prompt medical treatment; please advise us if this is a problem. Day pupils should remain with their existing GP. If a boarder visits a GP whilst at home, they should be seen as a temporary resident to avoid having to re-register again at school.
Medical Conditions
The Health and Wellbeing Centre team work closely with pupils, staff and other professionals to provide excellent care to those with longterm conditions such as asthma, diabetes, allergies, epilepsy and mental health conditions.
In order for us to provide safe and effective care, it is vital that if your child has any allergies or any medical condition that might affect their life in school in any way, you should let us know before the start of term. Please ensure that all relevant medical information is provided both to the School’s Health and Medical Centre and the House staff – the Data Protection Act prevents the School Doctor from sharing medical information without appropriate permission.
We will also need to know at the start of term if he or she needs alternative meals on religious grounds, or because of dietary requirements.
Welfare Information and Medical History
This information is requested online in order to enable the School to safeguard and promote the welfare of your child so please complete the form as fully as possible.
Medicines
No individual is allowed to keep medicines in his or her room without permission; risk assessments are carried out on pupils who wish to self-administer medication. This rule includes all kinds of over-the-counter medications, those prescribed by a doctor such as antibiotics; this excludes emergency medication such as inhalers and adrenaline autoinjectors which need to be kept on the person.
The Health and Wellbeing Centre must be informed of all emergency medications. If a pupil returns to school with prescription medication, it should be handed to Matron in the original packaging, stating the pupil’s name and the dosage to be given; this will then be discussed with the School Doctor.
All pupils bringing medication from overseas will be required to book in for a medication review with the School Doctor. Any sport related drug restrictions must be communicated with the Health and Wellbeing Centre.
Dental
All pupils should be dentally fit when they start at the School and parents should arrange regular dental checks and routine dental work (including orthodontic treatment) during the school holidays. Parents of boarders are encouraged to arrange insurance to cover emergency dental treatment, and to provide details to the House Matron on entry to the School. If emergency treatment is required, the School will arrange a visit to a local dentist. If this has to be arranged as a private patient, parents should pay the dental practice directly.
Child Protection
Staff are required by law to follow the Derbyshire Child Protection procedures if they suspect a pupil is the victim of abuse.
Private Healthcare
It is up to you whether you wish for your child to be enrolled in the AXA health insurance scheme, but we do recommend it as it makes it much easier to organise extra treatments such as physiotherapy. If you have your own private medical insurance, please do let us know. If we do not receive information from you, your child will be treated as an NHS patient, provided that he/she is eligible. For the sake of your child’s health, it is very important that you notify us of any changes you decide to make to these arrangements whilst your child is at Repton.
International Pupils
All overseas pupils are entitled to GP and emergency NHS care. However, it is advisable to have private insurance as this will enable the School Doctor to make a prompt referral to a specialist when required.
Infectious Diseases
Parents are reminded that no pupil who has been in contact with infectious diseases during the holidays should be sent back to school until the Housemaster or Housemistress has been informed of the position and has given consent. In accordance with Department of Health Guidelines, if a pupil is diagnosed as suffering from an infectious disease whilst at school he/she will be required to return home or to a guardian.
First Aid
In the event of accidents and minor illnesses it may be necessary for members of staff to administer first aid treatment or non-prescribed medication to pupils.
PSHE
Personal, Social, Health and Economic education is a planned programme of learning opportunities through timetabled group tutorial sessions to enable pupils to develop as individuals and as members of local and the world-wide community. The programme helps to develop knowledge, understanding and practical attitudes to guide pupils through their teenage years and
to equip them with skills that allow them to make informed choices, helping provide a positive transition into adulthood. We are flexible in our approach and the content is made appropriate to the needs of the pupils and their backgrounds. There are timetabled lessons in B and A Block. Pupils will cover many aspects of PSHE with a view to support their Spiritual, Moral, Cultural, Mental (SMSC) development and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life. Tutors and classroom teachers use pre-prepared resources as a stimulus for discussion on a wide variety of topics or discuss material presented in the form of a lecture. This programme continues in the Sixth Form via the
Houses and is supplemented by specialist individuals who provide seminars, discussions and lectures on a variety of topics. The provision of the overall PSHE programme is punctuated with a wealth of lectures from specialists and/or enthusiasts within the School but also from professional speakers. Such areas include: HIV/Aids; Drugs Education; Healthy Relationships; Anti-bullying; Online Safety; The Law; Money Issues; National and International Political Landscape; LGBTQ+; Consent Workshops; Resilience; Mental Health and Wellbeing; Academic Choices and Study Support.
The Health and Wellbeing Centre offers support and information about
ACADEMIC L ife
of the day.
LOWER SCHOOL
Academic Work
Academic work will be at the heart of your life at Repton. On your first day, you will receive your timetable, and you will quickly get to know your teachers and the rooms in which they teach. In B Block, you will study a wide range of subjects, giving you the chance to experience all the opportunities and facilities available at the School. At the end of B Block, you will choose the subjects you particularly enjoy and wish to take through to GCSE, alongside the core subjects. During A and O Block, you will study these subjects in preparation for your GCSE examinations in the Summer Term of O Block.
Each weekday evening, you will have prep (homework) to complete in your House. Day pupils may choose to stay in House to complete their prep or return home after 6.00 pm, but they will still need to complete their prep at home. One of the first lessons Reptonians learn is the importance of using prep time effectively to keep up with academic work, allowing time for other interests and activities during the day. Lower School pupils receive one hour-long prep per subject each week, so you should be able to manage your workload within this time. However, depending on deadlines and other commitments, you may need to work at other times
Academic Tutors
Your academic progress in all your subjects will be closely monitored by your Tutor. You will meet with them each week to discuss your progress, review your reports, and develop strategies to improve your work. This will be alongside the PSHE programme, which supports your personal development. In the Lower School, your Tutor is also based in your House, meaning there are plenty of opportunities to seek guidance and raise any concerns.
Reports
Your progress will be monitored through grade cards and report cards, which will include grades and comments on your work both in and outside the classroom. In addition to regular feedback from your teachers on marked work, these reports will be sent to parents or guardians with a comment from your Tutor. Pupils who receive particularly strong reports may also be awarded an Academic Merit. You will also have an opportunity to write a self-appraisal on your report once you have had the chance to read the comments from your teachers.
SIXTH FORM
Academic Work
The Sixth Form is an exciting stage in your academic journey as you focus on subjects you have chosen based on your university aspirations, career interests, or personal enjoyment. This is an important time to develop selfmotivation and independent learning skills. You will have more freedom in how you study, and it is vital to use your private work time efficiently, as these skills will be essential at university and beyond.
There is a significant step up from
GCSE to A Level, and success will require dedication and commitment. Your timetable will include study periods, which should be used wisely. You should also work productively and quietly during Prep (Monday to Friday evenings), setting a good example to younger pupils in your House. Additionally, you will need to complete work outside of these times, including at weekends and during free periods. This is particularly crucial in the leadup to examinations.
As a guideline, during external examination terms, you should aim to complete at least three hours of private study per day outside
of lessons, with additional time on half-days and weekends. The Easter holiday before your final term should be used for extensive exam preparation. However, maintaining a steady work ethic throughout the course is key to achieving your best results.
If you are an international pupil planning to apply to UK universities, you may need to take the IELTS (International English Language Testing System). Support is available for those undertaking IELTS sessions, and additional charges apply for English as an Additional Language tuition.
Academic Tutors
At the start of the Lower Sixth year, you will be assigned an academic tutor who will guide you throughout your time in the Sixth Form. Your Tutor will likely be one of your subject teachers, a House Tutor, or another staff member with whom you have a strong rapport. They will meet with you regularly to provide academic support, help you manage private study time, and assist with planning holiday work and revision. Your Tutor will also play a key role in your university application process.
Reports
Your progress will be assessed through regular grade cards and reports, including grades and comments on both classwork and independent study. You will have the opportunity to discuss your progress with your Tutor, who will help you set targets. Reports will be sent to your parents or guardians with feedback from your Tutor.
At the end of the Lower Sixth year, each academic department will submit a report on your work to your Housemaster or Housemistress. This, along with predicted UCAS grades, will form the basis of your school reference for university applications.
Use of Study Periods
Given the amount of private study time available, you should dedicate at least four hours per week to each of your Sixth Form subjects. While some of this time will be used for set prep, independent consolidation is vital to success. Activities that will enhance your understanding include:
• Learning to use textbook indexes to quickly find relevant information.
• Reviewing your work and ensuring calculations and presentations are correct.
• Reading multiple textbooks for different perspectives on a topic.
• Learning factual material continuously rather than cramming before exams.
• Practising past exam questions and planning answers.
• Engaging in wider reading beyond the syllabus to discuss in interviews.
University Applications
Most Reptonians see A Levels or BTECs as a stepping stone to Higher Education, and recent years have seen great success in securing places at first-choice universities. This success is the result of careful course research, well-prepared Personal Statements, and guidance from Tutors, Houseparents, and subject staff. All pupils have access to the Careers and Higher Education platform to support their research into UK and international universities.
Applications are submitted in the Michaelmas Term of the Upper Sixth, with earlier deadlines for Oxbridge, medical-related degrees, and UCAS Conservatoire applications. You will begin considering your application in the Lower Sixth through an extensive induction, with additional training and support for competitive applications. Talks from staff and external providers, as well as individual guidance, will help you throughout the process. If you are considering applying to universities in the US or other international institutions, early expressions of interest are encouraged, as additional admissions tests may be required. The School organises external tuition and works with experts in international admissions to support your application.
Oxbridge Applications
Repton provides extensive support for pupils applying to Oxford or Cambridge, including additional reading recommendations, extra discussion sessions, admissions test preparation, and multiple mock interviews. Given the competitive nature of Oxbridge entry, candidates should have a strong academic record, including at least seven or eight GCSEs at grade 8/9, and should expect top A Level results.
Successful applicants will demonstrate subject knowledge and enthusiasm beyond A Level requirements. Early initiative in the Lower Sixth is essential, as admissions tests and interviews require critical thinking and intellectual curiosity.
Careers Advice
Repton’s careers programme provides structured support throughout your time at school to help you explore future pathways. This begins with GCSE subject choice guidance and career profiling in B Block and A Block. In O Block, you will complete a comprehensive profiling questionnaire to help you identify strengths, career possibilities, and suitable subject choices. In the Sixth Form, careers advice continues alongside university preparation. You will attend career talks by Old Reptonians and professionals, a Careers Conference, and a UCAS training day. We encourage pupils to undertake work
experience placements from the O Block upwards. Work experience can be invaluable for career decisionmaking and university applications, particularly for competitive courses. As a school, we do sign post opportunities for the pupils with regards to work experience provision, but pupils are also encouraged to find their own opportunities.
English as an Additional Language
Provision for pupils for whom English is a second language
The aim of the English as an Additional Language (EAL) department is that pupils whose first language is not English will be given extra English tuition so that they will become increasingly fluent. They will be given the necessary support to help them to develop the academic skills required by their other subjects and to integrate fully into school life.
At the beginning of the academic year, all overseas pupils will be assessed in order to ascertain how much, if any, extra English tuition is needed. In the Sixth Form there are up to three periods available per week dedicated to EAL teaching. In the Lower School pupils will be given EAL lessons as an alternative to timetabled Modern Foreign Language lessons. One-toone EAL lessons can also be arranged. There is also a weekly evening drop-in EAL support session where pupils can receive English language support for help in all their subjects.
Personalised Learning
Screening and Assessment
All new pupils are ‘screened’ early in their first term. For those with recognised difficulties this is unlikely to offer any additional information, but it can give an indication of progress since previous assessment.
The Personalised Learning department can offer assessments throughout the pupil’s journey with the intention to look at their learning profile. The Learning Profile is a valuable piece of information for the pupil (and staff), as it will highlight both their strengths and obstacles whilst engaging with the education expectations. The Personalised
Learning team will explain the profile to the pupil themselves and try to equip them with strategies to overcome their obstacles which are presented to them. These assessments are conducted in line with the regulations for reasonable adjustments for external exams.
Please do not hesitate to make contact should you wish to discuss additional support. Also, please do encourage your son or daughter to speak to a member of the Personalised Learning team if they have any concerns about accessing the curriculum. Academic and social demands can be daunting for all pupils and are much more easily and happily managed with support.
Tier 1 Provision
This provision is open to all pupils throughout the School. Prep support takes place every week, 7.00 pm - 8.00 pm, in the Personalised Learning department. It is a place that offers a quiet space to work and receive some help from the Personalised Learning Team. Mrs Parker is available throughout the afternoons and ‘free time’ to offer individual support and guidance.
• Pupils also have access to personalised study skills support, when a specific skill is discussed and strategies introduced which is then reflected on the pupil’s individual learning profile.

All pupils are required to represent the School in the main sport of the term if selected, with each term featuring a major sport to ensure a full fixture list against other schools. Repton runs at least A, B, and C teams in these sports, providing opportunities for all pupils to compete at their level.

They are required to participate in at least two sports sessions per week, though many in school teams will train more intensively. Pupils who play at a high representative level are supported in achieving a balance between their school and external commitments, coordinated by the Director of Sport and sporting leads. This privilege is extended only to the most able pupils.
The School also offers a variety of additional sports, such as badminton, basketball, touch rugby, squash, golf, fitness, and cross country. Our facilities and expert coaching staff ensure that every pupil has the opportunity to enjoy and excel in their chosen sports.
