Location: Repton Prep
Contract Type: Fixed-term, one academic year – required from September 2027.
Salary: National Minimum Wage
Benefits: Accommodation, free school meals during term-time, free Wifi, contributory pension scheme and free membership of Repton Sports Centre.
Job Introduction
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 get 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. You will learn the foundation skills needed to be an effective classroom practitioner. There is also a chance to explore your passions and work in our Drama, Art, DT, and Music departments.
The role is required for the 2027-2028 academic year.
About Repton School
Repton is the ancient capital of Mercia, and the School, founded in 1557 from a bequest from Sir John Port of Etwall, was established on the site of a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon Benedictine abbey and latterly a 12th-century Augustinian priory. The School today incorporates many of the original buildings from the estate.
The School has over one thousand pupils across the Prep and Senior School, making it large enough to achieve excellence in and out of the classroom, yet small enough for individuals to grow and succeed. Repton and Repton Prep have always enjoyed a very close relationship and in 2020, the schools became a through-school.
At Repton Senior, each pupil, whether day or boarding, is a member of a House. Academic standards are high and creative activities, including music, art, drama, and design, flourish. The School has a national profile in sport, in particular in football, hockey, cricket, and swimming. Our pupils thrive both in and out of the classroom and they develop the skills, qualities, and values that will lead to a successful life.
Repton was one of the first British schools to set up overseas schools with the establishment of Repton School Dubai in 2007, and the development of a community of international schools is key to Repton’s future vision. Currently, Repton has schools in Dubai (2), Abu Dhabi (2), China, and Egypt, with plans to open a further four more over the next few years. Repton also includes five schools in the UK (Repton, Repton Prep, St Wystan’s, Vinehall, and Marlborough House) with the ambition to grow its UK family of schools.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 10.00am on Monday 23rd November 2026. You should complete the online application form and also submit a covering letter addressed to Mrs. Vicky Harding, Head, which should include what attracts you to the position and how you feel your experience, skills, and personal qualities qualify you to take on the role.
