REPTON PREP'S GLOBAL BOARDING SCHEME EARNS PLACE IN TES AWARDS

 A PIONEERING boarding school initiative connecting children across the globe has seen Repton shortlisted for a national award described as the ‘Oscars of Education’.

The Tes Schools Awards recognises the very best teachers and educational establishments from across the UK, and Repton has reached the final few in the prestigious Best Boarding School category.

One of the key innovations that sets Repton apart is its short-term immersive boarding programme, launched in 2023. This initiative welcomes pupils from Repton’s international family of schools to experience life at a UK school for half a term.

So far, children from Cairo, Abu Dhabi, Al Barsha, Xiamen, and Dubai have benefitted from the opportunity to live and study at Repton, forging international friendships and gaining invaluable cultural experiences.

The immersive boarding programme is unique in its ability to unite pupils from Repton’s global network of schools, fostering international friendships and cultural exchange. 

As well as the global boarding programme, Repton School operates a system where every student – including day pupils – belongs to a house system that offers strong peer support, helping them to integrate fully into school life. 

Children enjoy meals together three times a day, helping to foster a strong sense of community and robust friendships among day and boarding pupils. 

While the majority of teaching staff live on site and are available to support pupils around the clock. 
There are also a variety of boarding options at Repton Prep from full boarding to Home and Away Boarding – allowing children to return home on Wednesday and Saturday nights - and Flexi Boarding on an ad hoc basis.
