Repton School: A Unique World Combining Competencies and Qualities.
Repton School is an independent co-educational British public boarding school in Repton, Derbyshire, England, that was founded by the will and funds of Sir John Port of Etwall in 1557. The school admits students from the ages of 13 to 18 and would initially only admit boys, before opening its doors to the girls in the 1970s.
For those wishing to join the school, a personal tour to the school is recommended, where you get to meet with the Director of Admissions and other key staff members like the housemistress or master, and also get to enjoy some lunch in one of the ten houses. The students should formally register their interest by completing a registration form, followed by a compulsory entry exam that all prospective students should sit for.
