Repton School
Repton School is today a 13–18 co-educational (previously boys only), private boarding and day school in the English public school tradition, in Repton, Derbyshire, England.
John Port of Etwall, upon his death in 1557, left funds to create a new grammar school which was then established at the Repton Priory conditional upon the students praying daily for the souls of his family.[1] For its first 400 years, the school accepted only boys; girls were admitted from the 1970s, and the school was fully co-educational by the 1990s.[2]
