A new addition to Repton’s network of schools and pre-schools.
As schools
kickstart their phased re-openings, Repton
International Schools Ltd (RISL) has announced a new partnership
with CES Repmal, a subsidiary of the Singapore-listed Chip Eng Seng
Corporation Ltd (CES). The collaboration agreement establishes the
newest school in Repton’s network of prestigious academic
institutions around the world. The news follows CES’ December 2019
announcement of their acquisition of the Excelsior International
School.
The
partnership will see RISL and CES Repmal rebrand the Excelsior
International School as a Repton SchoolBased in thriving Johor Bahru,
the schoolwill open to children age 3-18 (K1-Year 12) this month. The
school has undergone extensive refurbishment and COVID-19 protection,
and staff are now ready to welcome the 2020 intake – the first
pupils to enjoy the excellent facilities and teaching experiences
that Repton has to offer.
Repton’s Schools and Kindergartens Around the
World
The
partnership isn’t Repton International Schools’ first
collaboration. RISL signed an agreement with another CES subsidiary
in April 2018, collating a chain of international kindergartens under
the Repton name. RISL has since launched two Repton Kindergartens in
Singapore and has additional contracts in place for schools in China,
Bulgaria, and Egypt. Having already established excellent
international schools in Dubai, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi, Repton is
well-positioned to expand its collection of excellent educational
institutions.
‘This is
a significant landmark in Repton’s long history,’ says Sir Henry
Every, Chairman of RISL. ‘We already have well-established links to
the region through the Repton Kindergartens in Singapore and have
flourishing partnerships elsewhere across the globe. We look forward
to working closely with our partners in Malaysia to ensure this new
school embodies the education and culture of Repton UK.’
Modelled on Repton School UK
Repton
International Schools Ltd has modelled its educational systems on
Repton UK’s high-level
curricula. Repton’s international success is representative of the
quality and effectiveness of the educational success that Repton UK
has nurtured over past decades. Founded in 1557 and nestled in the
Derbyshire countryside, Repton School UK has offered centuries’
worth of outstanding education. The co-educational independent
boarding school supports pupils age 3-18 through a fully rounded
education that equally prioritises academic, vocational, and
emotional development.
Repton UK
has an extensive history of pupils, who have accomplished outstanding
exam results, academic achievements, and practical successes.
Following the release of this year’s exam results, all Oxbridge
candidates and pupils who have opted to study Medicine and Veterinary
Science have secured their university places, despite the COVID-19
crisis.
Repton’s
schools teach pupils how to be globally aware and internationally
minded, as well as intellectually curious, spiritually alive, and
culturally informed. Repton aims for its pupils to be continuously
aware of their social, political, and environmental surroundings and
committed to achieving their best in all aspects of their lives.

covering topics such as stress-free exam preparation, career
guidance, and mentorship opportunities. The school’s experienced
teaching staff are dedicated to shaping happy, healthy lifestyles for
every pupil. Ensuring each child’s wellbeing and safety is the
primary responsibility of every staff member, from teachers, senior
leaders, year heads, and teaching assistants to medical staff,
counsellors, and administration teams.
The ‘house’
system at Repton is an essential part of the school’s pastoral care
provision, designed to create a sense of belonging for each pupil.
Every house partakes in a host of competitive activities throughout
the academic year, such as sports, debates, art events, and musical
performances, all designed to involve pupils in team-building
exercises and share happy memories. Repton School’s
houses are twinned with the UK and United Arab Emirates houses,
comprising Orchard, Brook, Fry, and Latham. Each house’s pupils and
staff get together regularly to share duties on a rota basis, prepare
for events, and catch up with friends.
