Our Partner

Key to the success of Repton’s transformational bursary programme is our ability to identify prospective pupils who not only have extraordinary potential but who will thrive as part of the Repton boarding school community. We work closely with national education partners and local schools to identify those who have the mindset to gain the most from a Repton education. Together, we have the experience to support young people, and their families, from socially disadvantaged sections of society with life-changing educational opportunities.

We provide support for both children and their families to navigate this exciting journey to ensure the best possible experience is delivered at every stage of the process during their time at Repton. As such, our pastoral team are a crucial part of the journey when joining Repton and are ever-present throughout the education of every child. Their role extends to supporting families – answering questions across all aspects of school and boarding life, which may be unfamiliar to those looking to join Repton.

The health and wellbeing of all our children is an extremely important component of their time at Repton. We therefore ensure parents and/or guardians feel as comfortable as our pupils, and secure within the Repton environment.

SPRINGBOARD

We work closely with the Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation, the UK’s largest boarding school bursary charity, providing life-transforming opportunities for disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people. SpringBoard provide bursary opportunities for children and young people across the UK, all of whom come from families where the household income has been assessed as being well below that needed to fund a boarding school education.

CEO of Royal National Children’s Springboard Foundation, Ali Henderson is passionate about creating systemic change in education. This vision is something that we are proud to be a part of, as we work collectively to drive social mobility by broadening access to life-changing opportunities.

Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation (RNCSF) works to bring the transformational opportunities offered by the UK’s leading schools to the young people who will benefit from them the most. By 2025 they aim to have supported 2,000 young people from challenging circumstances to access these opportunities – changing their futures, influencing their peers and becoming role models to others.
