St Wystan’s is a thriving non-selective school that prides itself on its reputation for producing happy, confident and successful children. Each individual in our school community is extremely special to us and we continually strive to create a varied and stimulating environment for boys and girls aged 2½ to 11, so they can develop, be happy and flourish.

Our school was founded in 1926 and is situated in the heart of Repton.

We are proud of our strong links with many local secondary Independent and State schools. Our children have an excellent reputation for securing scholarship offers and securing first choice secondary schools at a time in which a child’s true academic potential can be accurately predicted and talents in other areas acknowledged.
