OLD REPTONIAN SOCIETY

Becoming a Reptonian means a lifelong connection with our entire School community that brings a lifetime of value. 

The Old Reptonian Society was set up over 120 years ago to enable Old Reptonians (ORs) to keep in touch with one another, as well as maintain links with the School and benefit from the opportunities of being part of a global community. Forging new friendships and connections through a range of social events, playing for OR Sports Clubs or participating in other OR Branches such as ORs in the Arts and Music, as well as receiving careers guidance from our OR Careers Ambassadors in a particular field of interest, are just some of the benefits ORs around the world enjoy. 

All Reptonians automatically become life-long members of the Old Reptonian Society on leaving Repton.
