• Samantha Nibblett MP

  Tue 14 Jul 2026

  On the 19th June our local MP, Samantha Nibblett, came to visit our school. We were able to talk to her about issues local schools face along with the woderful things we do at RPS. We then had an assembly where children were able to ask Samantha questions and find out what it is like to be an MP. Our children were able to build on the good knowledge they already have on UK Parliament. Our school Council then interviewed her and had a photo at the school gates.

• Year 4 Camp

  Mon 13 Jul 2026

  Our Year 4s had an amazing time on their camp the other week. Their behaviour was perfect and they were able to build on their skills from the previous year. A Hedghog even came to visit us late at night but the children were tucked away in their tents! Thanks to all staff members that were able to help. 

  

• Swarkestone Nursery Repton in Bloom 2026

  Thu 18 Jun 2026 Mr Tague

  We have entered this year's Repton in Bloom and yesterday the team at Swarkestone Nursery (garden centre) were so incredibly kind by donating £180 worth of flowers to our entry! They have almost single handedly sorted our first ever entry! A huge thank you to Yasmin and the team at Swarkestone. Thanks to the four ECO Council members that accompanied me to collect the flowers too. Garden King in Newhall have also helped by kindly donating £10 to the entry which we used to buy more flowers (thanks Lucy Hoines for collecting). Mrs Devereux also donated £100 on behalf of her late father which helped us buy the planters and watering cans.

• Inter Schools' Chess Tournament

  Mon 27 Apr 2026 Mr Tague

  Last week, a group of 8 children, from my chess club, represented our school in an inter-schools' tournament at Repton Prep. As always, their hospitality was superb and the lunch was incredible! Our children loved interacting with the children from the other schools and developing their chess skills and knowledge. Thanks to Repton for letting us use one of their mini buses.

• UK Parliament Assembly

  Thu 16 Apr 2026 K Riley

  Today we had a super assembly all about UK Parliament.  We had a visitor, Malcom Smith who told the children all about how parliament works and how laws are made.  His assembly was very interesting and interactive. The children were all immensely engaged.  This assembly supports our work about Democracy, one of the British Values and builds upon our KS2 School Council visit to the Houses of Parliament back in March.
