Building-wise, it's like stepping into a Harry Potter world, but better. I'm not sure if it's still very old-skool, but some people have expressed their struggle during their studies here.

Quoting from Wikipedia:
"Author Roald Dahl gives accounts of hazing in his 1984 autobiography Boy: Tales of Childhood and described an environment of ritual cruelty and status domination, with younger boys having to act as personal servants for older boys and be the subject of beatings. Dahl expresses some of these darker experiences in his writings, which is also marked by his hatred of cruelty and corporal punishment."

your throwing your money away with this educational establishment. If you can afford their fees, why not have your son/ daughter at a school down south with better results and first class equipment's? The fees are not that much different

At £12000 a term is this value for money? Everything else is extra like books , locks..... just about everything that the school provides are chargeable and will be invoiced at the end of the term. Nothing is refundable If you dont see eye to eye with the school.

If your darlings are academically gifted there are lots of other schools down South giving you your moneys worth.
The facilities are poor and dated, altho some may like the history behind it.
The class size when my son was there was over 20 in a class which i found to be rather high.
Remember, these schools are a business and you have to treat them as such.
Im glad he's not there anymore has hes thriving else where with a view to going to UCL or LSE

Repton Bangalore,India is unprofessional to the core.
They got my services as a Dietitian for planning the menu for kids
I delivered my work as per clinical knowledge and on time
They never bothered to pay me my remuneration what they agreed for

No proper responses also for enquiries especially MS.MITA PAUL AND ASHWINI
I Gave up trying to reach them

Sorry Repton, this is very unethical

Having been the third member of my family to attend Foremarke and Repton some thirty five years ago, I am very saddened, but not surprised, to read the low ratings on here.

The thing which comes to mind is that even during my tenure, one could see that Repton had started its slippery southward journey of decline, mainly due to poor management and choice of recruitment. By no means all, but quite a few of the staff recruited at that time were either bullies or simply not fit for the job.

I am in touch with many of my friends from those days, most of whom have chosen a different school for the education of their own children, and we all agree about the above.

Sadly, one has to look at the level of literacy of the Google reviews to appreciate and understand what a modern day Repton education leads to.

RIP Repton. Your only chance of a comeback is to recruit the calibre of staff like Gammell, Charlesworth, Muir, Wilkinson, Keep, Scott and Bradburn - to name a few.

As for Repton Prep./Foremarke, then I am saddened to say that on a visit a few years ago, I noticed that its problems are even more dire than Repton's.

Absouletely horrendous WiFi service. All these people paying for it are getting ripped off! Repton getting fed money and not even helping the children.
