Repton Preparatory School is directly under the control of the Governors of Repton School. Boys and girls are prepared for all independent schools but the majority go to Repton.
The School occupies a fine Georgian mansion with 40 acres of woods, lake and playing fields. The facilities include all that the school requires including competition size indoor pool, Sports Hall, theatre, tennis courts, science laboratories, a networked computer room and an extensive library. The girls' boarding accommodation is in a separate wing. A wide range of games and activities is available for boys and girls such as, archery, basketball, clay pigeon shooting, climbing, cycling, fishing, golf, judo, karate and skiing. Children enter from the age of 5 and they leave at 13.
The aim of the curriculum at Foremarke is threefold: to establish positive attitudes and self confidence, to foster strengths and talents, and to develop a range of skills and knowledge.
There are ten year groups covering the ages 3-13+ and each one is subdivided into several streams with further cross setting in most subjects for the final two years. The average class size is 15 and children are placed according to ability in the form or set best suited to their needs. Remedial help is available for pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. The School has an excellent scholarship record.
What characterises the spirit of Foremarke is the happy relationship that exists between staff, children and parents. The staff are involved in many ways in creating a friendly, disciplined environment where commonsense and good manners are encouraged.
We see boarding as a source of personal enjoyment and educational benefit.
