Repton School Abu Dhabi

Repton School Abu Dhabi opened in 2013 as part of the Repton Family of Schools, carrying the name of the 1557-founded Repton in Derbyshire, UK, and operating under the Cognita group. It sits on Al Reem Island and educates roughly 1,749 students aged 3–18 across two linked campuses — the Rose Campus for the youngest year groups (FS1–Year 2) and the Fry Campus for Year 3 through Year 13 — drawing families from over 85 nationalities, with British, Emirati and Indian the largest groups.

The school follows the English National Curriculum, leading to IGCSE/GCSE in Years 10–11 and A-Levels, BTECs and the EPQ in Sixth Form, with Arabic and Islamic Studies as mandated UAE subjects. English is the language of instruction. There is no IB programme and, on the evidence reached, no boarding provision — this is a day school with a year-group fee structure.

At its most recent ADEK Irtiqa'a inspection (10–13 November 2025), Repton was rated Outstanding overall, an improvement from the Very Good judged in 2022. Inspectors recorded Outstanding attainment and progress in English, mathematics and science across phases, Outstanding learning skills and teaching, and sustained Outstanding leadership and safeguarding. Arabic-medium subjects sit at the lower 'Good'-to-'Very Good' range and are the school's named improvement focus. The school is also rated 'Outstanding in all areas' by British Schools Overseas (2023).

Fees for AY 2025-26 run from AED 62,601 (FS1) to AED 80,960 (Year 12–13), positioning it in the upper-mid premium band for Abu Dhabi British schools. With ADEK's top band, a recognised heritage brand and strong English-medium outcomes, it maps to our top tier — S.
