The Repton Foundation

Sir John Port opened the School’s doors to our community in 1557 to provide local people with a good education irrespective of wealth or status. Our founder’s ethos continues today through The Repton Foundation where generous donations from parents, friends and Old Reptonians provide an equal footing from which to begin a lifechanging education.

Everything we do at Repton – learning to think, to play, to create, to compete, to win, to lose, to appreciate what is around us – is built on the bedrock of a healthy and conscious balance in all things. Whilst we are a school with intellectual ambition, world-leading sports coaches and facilities, where artistic endeavour forms an integral part of everyday life, the emotional and physical wellbeing of our pupils remain our imperative.

The Repton Foundation allows young people, regardless of background, to experience a fully funded education at Repton. There are currently a number of pupils at both the Prep and Senior school who benefit from donations made to The Repton Foundation, allowing them to receive transformational bursaries. These donations are gratefully received and critical to the success of our fundraising strategy.

If you would like to discuss making a donation to our transformational bursary programme, please contact us: foundation@repton.org.uk
