While the company has potential and presents itself well externally, my experience internally was quite different. There appears to be a close-knit group within senior management whose decisions sometimes seem more focused on internal politics than on fostering a supportive environment for staff. It can feel like decisions about employee futures are made behind closed doors, without much transparency or communication.
One of the most noticeable issues is the high turnover rate. Many employees leave within a short time, which can make it hard to build strong teams or feel a sense of long-term stability. Some colleagues seemed to be quietly let go without clear cause, while others chose to move on due to the challenging work culture.
For those seeking a workplace with strong mentorship, open communication, and long-term growth opportunities, this may not be the best fit. While every experience is different, it’s worth approaching with a clear understanding of the dynamics at play.

Work at repton school is fun and rewarding. Everyone gets on with each other and this makes work easy. I have learned about the preparation of food, health and safety and hygiene regulations. I get on with all my co-workers of different ages. The most enjoyable part of my job is coming to work with a smile on my face instead of dreading it. I love working there and i am always willing to take on extra shifts. There is nothing very hard about the job but house suppers at the end of the year are very busy and you have to be quick on your feet. 

The school prides itself on its balanced curriculum and the staff certainly are worked hard with a busy timetable of academic lessons, sport coaching and extra curricular activities including weekend boarding duties.
The general atmosphere is friendly and management is mostly well maintained to balance everyone’s positions.
The hardest part of the job are the long hours but these are rewarded with excellent holidays.
The most enjoyable part is definitely the children; it is a welcoming, friendly place.

Work expectations, work hours and off duty days are not in line with legislation.

Low salary remuneration and only paid for school  term months worked .

Senior Management and Managers poor management skills and do not support staff.


No opportunity for internal advancement.

Very high turnover of staff either by choice of individual or before they reach the 2 year anniversary of employment.

The day goes very fast.  Having to work to dead lines.  Enjoyable place to work for.  People very friendly. Payroll is probably the hardest and is very messy. Most enjoyable is talking to parents and satisfying them with all there queries. Management very good.
Learned to be pro active, work to dead lines, organisation.

Maintenance for the beautiful and historic grounds of Repton School. Friendly and professional colleagues. Hard work rewarded by management. Would recommend to any young people looking to learn a lot about handy-man work. Great for summertime work.

I am not reviewing Repton School, as i am not currently looking to leave permanently. 
This doesn't seem to be set up for a temporary position whilst being furloughed.

my main job was to assist the chef by helping to prepare food and also making sure the equipment was clean for the chefs needs.

You have to live on site to benefit from working here.  If you don't you won't be viewed in the same light, neither by members of staff or the pupils who do.
