Repton has announced plans to open a school in Bahrain in August 2027, expanding the British school's overseas network.

The planned Repton Bahrain campus will serve pupils aged three to 18 and is expected to offer qualifications including International GCSEs and A levels. The announced development covers approximately 32,000 square metres.

The school is being presented as an extension of Repton's established educational approach, with plans for facilities to serve both younger and older pupils. The anticipated opening date remains subject to the development and operational arrangements being completed.

The announcement adds to the continued expansion of British-linked schools in the Gulf, where several established UK school groups operate campuses.
