Sir John Port Society Lunch
On 8 June 2024, President of the Repton Foundation Robert Kirkland (Orchard 1959-64), hosted the Sir John Port Society lunch in the Headmaster’s Dining Room in The Hall, in recognition of those who have pledged to remember Repton in their will. An afternoon of exquisite food (cooked by The Hall’s very own chef David), fine wine (expertly selected by Robert) and convivial conversation was enjoyed by all. The Headmaster Mark Semmence and Development Director Juliet Wolfe were also in attendance.
Building on the 1557 legacy of Repton School’s founder, Sir John Port, the aims of the Repton Foundation are to:
• Offer life-changing bursary places to pupils who have the talent, but not the financial means, to benefit from a Repton education
• Invest in key development projects, such as designing new facilities and restoring old heritage buildings, to ensure the School offers pupils the very best learning environment in which to thrive
