Job Introduction

We are seeking to appoint an ambitious and dynamic Director of Sport to lead the sporting provision at Repton Prep, one of the UK’s leading prep schools. This is an outstanding opportunity for a practitioner with explicit vision and a passion for sport to shape the experience of every pupil in the school.

Repton Prep offers a high-quality boarding and day education to around 400 girls and boys aged 2 to 13. The school sits on a self-contained, fifty-acre rural campus less than three miles from Repton, where a traditional manor house is complemented by modern teaching and co-curricular facilities.

The Peak District National Park and the major cities of the East Midlands are within easy reach, and excellent transport links connect the school to the heart of England and beyond. The school enjoys all the benefits of a stand‑alone prep while also forming the first stage of a through‑school journey from 2 to 18. Repton and Repton Prep share the same hallmarks: academic rigour, first‑class pastoral care, sporting excellence, individual opportunity, personal development and acommitment to a full boarding ethos.

Both schools belong to the Repton Family of Schools, a growing global group that educates 11,000 pupils across three continents.

The development of this international community is central to Repton’s future vision, and it brings opportunities for collaboration,



shared expertise and professional growth that few prep schools can offer.
