SPORT at REPTON
At Repton, achieving in sport at the highest levels of performance and healthy participation for all are in no way mutually exclusive.
Here sport is inspirational to all and integral to daily life; alternating whole days and half days of lessons, the structure of the week maximises training time and match play.
Over 80% of Reptonians represent the School in at least one sport and every Reptonian participates in sport at least three times per week. Sport, academics and co-curricular exist in complementarity, with no sacrificing of quality. It is Repton’s aim to discover and develop the sporting and athletic potential within every pupil, as part of a balanced and challenging curriculum.
