What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Repton School’s Year 11 leavers went next (destination measures are not published for independent schools), so this page relies on the school’s results and subjects.
Physical Education is unusually popular at GCSE: 51% of the year group took it, against 11% of pupils across England.
A level grades average B+, well above the England average of B-; 29% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Mathematics, Politics and Business Studies.
Where pupils went after Year 11
