Education opens the doors to a better world, and it is this vision, first espoused by our founder Sir John Port in 1557, which still fires the enthusiasm of Repton’s community today, be they teachers, pupils, or parents.

The history of Repton can be traced back many centuries. Archaeological evidence exists showing the site was used in the late Stone Age, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, as well as evidence of occupation during the late Roman and early Anglo-Saxon periods.
