Apply for pupils from Pre-School to Year 9.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Stephen Priest as the Principal of Repton Cairo. Mr. Priest will take up the post in August 2024 following Mr. O’Malley’s planned return to the UK.
I am thrilled to be joining Repton Cairo as your new Principal. It will be an honour to lead and serve such a dynamic school community.
My wife, Tumika, and our son, Tristan, (aged 13), are also excited about joining the Repton Cairo family. Tumika is eager to engage with the parental community and Tristan is looking forward to making new friends and embracing all the opportunities Repton Cairo has to offer.
I believe we must have high expectations for every child, every one of whom can excel if we provide the pathways and support for their individual needs. It is our duty as educators to develop creative and innovative approaches to learning, in and outside of the classroom, ensuring our children enjoy their learning and are fully equipped with the qualifications, skills and mindset to flourish and realise their future goals and dreams.
I look forward to getting to know everyone in the Repton Cairo community and the wider Repton Family.
