I spend most of my spare time either playing tennis or cycling and recently played at Wimbledon representing Repton in the D’Abernon Cup. I have 2 children one currently at the school and one joining next year, Charlie and Evie (5 and 3).  

Vera Boyes - Vera has been a Governor at RPS since 2017 and is currently the Safeguarding Governor. She is now retired from a career over 30+ years in Child Protection social work, primarily working in the Family Court environment. Spare time is spent keeping busy with voluntary work, family, holidays and social time. I have two amazing grandchildren who attend the school. I really enjoy school visits and note how confident and happy all of the children are as they go about their day. I really feel RPS is a place they take pride in.
