   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.

   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

   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."
