SCHOOL PROSPECTUS A British International K-12 School Welcome from the Headmaster Repton School UK was founded in 1557 in Derbyshire, England. Today there are Repton International Schools in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and our family of schools is still growing. Repton Bangalore will be Repton International’s first school in India, opening on an impressive 35 acre campus in September 2018. Our mission at Repton Bangalore is to create a truly world-class international school for our children. I am delighted to be founding and leading a new community amidst the energy that surrounds us in this ambitious and diverse city.

With that in mind I commend to you the time- honoured and deeply rooted experience that a Repton education brings. Repton Bangalore will live and breathe the philosophy and ethos of all other Repton schools. Please do visit our UK site in particular to form a better understanding of our commitment to develop every aspect of young people’s lives. Not content with outstanding teaching, delivered by the very best experienced and highly qualified teachers, sourced globally, we also aim to develop students’ sporting talents in our Sports Academy, promote in our theatre a love of Performing Arts and ultimately develop the whole person. For over 20 years I have led outstanding, happy and successful schools both in the UK and internationally. I now want to consolidate my knowledge and experience into creating the very best school possible. I aim to make our students question, take risks, learn from mistakes, love learning and smile on a daily basis. If we get that right then we will all be happy. At Repton we are great believers in young people fulfilling their academic potential in the classroom but also keen to promote an awareness of global issues and adopt a rounded approach to international education.
