REPTON SCHOOL LISTED IN THE CRICKETER SCHOOLS GUIDE 2025
We are thrilled to announce that Repton School has once again been recognised in The Cricketer Schools Guide 2025 as one of the UK’s best schools for cricket.
This prestigious accolade celebrates excellence in cricket programmes across the country, and we are honoured to be part of the top 100 senior schools featured in this special 10th-anniversary edition.
Cricket has been a cornerstone of Repton School's sporting heritage for generations. From our immaculate pitches to our dedicated coaching staff, we pride ourselves on fostering a love for the game in pupils of all abilities. Our inclusion in the guide reaffirms our commitment to providing top-class cricket facilities, robust fixture programmes, and inspiring coaching that nurtures talent and passion.
Martin Speight, Repton’s Director of Cricket, perfectly encapsulated our ethos when he shared his vision with The Cricketer: "My job is to inspire as many young people to want to play the game, so that when they leave school and head to university or their club, wherever they go in the world they can join a cricket club and have a social life."
This sentiment is at the heart of everything we do. At Repton, cricket is more than just a sport; it is a way to build lifelong friendships, instil teamwork, and cultivate a love for healthy competition.
The guide’s editor, Huw Turbervill, highlights the remarkable progress of school cricket, noting how the sport has gained prominence across genders: “One of the most phenomenal things about the last decade is seeing cricket usurp rounders as the sport for girls. Rejoice!”
At Repton, we take immense pride in being part of this positive transformation. Our inclusive approach ensures that cricket is accessible and enjoyable for all, with a flourishing girls’ cricket programme that continues to grow in strength and popularity.
We remain steadfast in our mission to inspire the next generation of cricketers, whether they aspire to represent their county, country, or simply enjoy the game socially. Find out more about cricket at Repton.
