The School Was Established In 1940 At The Cross In Repton With Just Eight Boys, And Then In 1942, It Moved To Latham House. By The End Of The War There Were Over 100 Boys In The Prep School.
Blending Integrity And Other Values With Inspirational Learning We Ensure Our Pupils Excel With Confidence And Flair.
Foremarke Hall, Repton Preparatory School, aims to provide the highest standard of teaching and learning, pastoral care, and broad co-curricular and extra-curricular experience, in an inspiring and spacious setting. Children are allowed to be children, encouraged all the while to develop confidence and self-esteem into their best selves.
This is achieved through our school mission:
- To provide academic challenge and stimulate a love of learning.
- To offer a broad range of activities with equality of opportunity for all.
- To develop character, values, and morals.
- To maintain close and mutually supportive links with Repton School.
- To foster mutually beneficial community partnerships.
We are a co-educational day and boarding preparatory school of over 400 pupils, aged from three to thirteen, set in the fifty-acre grounds of a beautifully proportioned eighteenth-century Palladian hall in South Derbyshire.
As a school we believe that the most valuable education is one that is broad and balanced, enabling children to enjoy their childhood whilst benefiting from a wonderful range of opportunities both in and out of the classroom.
We aim to encourage our children to use their minds well, to understand that with privilege comes responsibility, to make wise judgments to be able to discriminate between right and wrong, good and better.
We believe that physical activity is important for growing children and that many important lessons for life are learned in this arena.
Finally, we believe that no education is complete without a spiritual element to it, teaching children to appreciate beauty, to be creative, and to value others.
With these elements in place, Foremarke Hall aims to produce young people at thirteen who are confident without being arrogant, who are achieving well in and out of the classroom, and who are appreciative of the needs of others around them.
Such young people will be well prepared for the senior phase of their education and life beyond.
As Parents, We Naturally Want The Best For Our Children. Such Is The Importance Education Has On Their Future Success, Many Of Our Life Decisions Will Centre Around Our Choice Of School.
With a rich heritage and beneficial links with Repton School, we enjoy enviable facilities and a plethora of resources enabling a curriculum where academic excellence and breadth are joint aims. There is a wealth of opportunity at Foremarke and we truly believe each child will discover an area where they can shine.
All high-performing schools share one key common factor, the staff. Foremarke staff – academic, administration, and support – are a wonderfully experienced, gifted, and committed team. They are passionate about supporting our children and invariably go ‘the extra mile.’ Whilst at Foremarke, your children will benefit from deep and nurturing relationships that will motivate, inspire and push them to succeed in ways they perhaps never thought possible.
A modern and globally relevant education is more than just a sum of the curriculum parts. It needs to provide our children with a strong set of values, a broad and sophisticated skillset as well crucial elements such as adaptability, creativity, and resilience allowing future self-growth. Foremarke staff often say that we seek to provide our children with both ‘roots’ and ‘wings.’
