Step back in time with us. ✨

From the Grand Staircase and Assembly Hall in 1923, to the Library which was actually a boarding room in the 1970s, and even Top Field when it was home to an outdoor swimming pool in 1974, these photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of our school.

Did you know that the outdoor swimming pool was actually built by pupils themselves? A remarkable piece of Repton Prep history.

Some spaces have changed dramatically, while others remain instantly recognisable. Our final image takes us back to 1914, showing the Library at the start of the First World War - a powerful reminder of the many stories these walls have witnessed over the years.

How many of these places do you recognise? 📚🏛️🏊

Before breaking up for May half term, Year 3 stepped back in time for their fantastic WW2 Evacuee Experience Day! 🇬🇧

The children put their acting skills to the test in the Media Suite by performing a WW2 scene in front of the green screen, practised hiding during an air raid, and proudly read a poem to parents. They also enjoyed some wartime crafting by making their own flags, dressed up as evacuees, and performed a wonderful dance before inviting parents to join in too!

We were so impressed by their enthusiasm and confidence throughout the day — well done, Year 3!
