Repton Prep is the ideal school for future elite sports men and women to begin their training and start working on individual sports with high quality coaching and development programmes. Many of our pupils have gone on to represent their country in their chosen disciplines. Hockey, Football, Cricket, Netball and Swimming are delivered as the main sports across the curriculum, with Athletics and PE taught alongside these areas.
Graduate Assistants specialising in Games will be able to coach teams in areas of specialism, as well as getting experience in other sports, learning from our existing team of specialist teachers.
Repton Prep teaches French from Year 1 and introduces Latin into the curriculum in Year 6, and Spanish from Year 7. Our MFL department is a vibrant place to be, with lots of practical and spoken lessons, supported by a dedicated Language Lab.
Graduate Assistants that specialise in Languages are able to support lessons, offer one-to-one additional sessions to those that need either extension level work or support with catch up and foundations, as well as run after school language clubs and workshops.
As a Graduate Assistant interested in academic teaching, you will be able to support lessons and observe teachers in the classroom. As the year progresses, it will be possible to take small groups and offer additional sessions and lesson cover as required.
