VISITING REPTON

We understand how important it is for your family to have a strong sense of what a Repton education has to offer.

Our school is enveloped in 55-acres of Derbyshire countryside and every corner provides a learning opportunity, from our fully interactive purpose-built classrooms, to the stream running through our bluebell wood – the very best way to experience Repton Prep is to visit us in person.

OPEN DAYS

Our School Open Days offer prospective families a fantastic opportunity to meet with our Senior Leadership Team and key members of the academic, pastoral and boarding departments. It allows families to discover all our facilities and areas of the School across our site from Nursery to Year 8, and chat to members of staff and current pupils.
