Dubai school launches 10 scholarships

DUBAI: Repton School Dubai, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary marking a decade of excellence in education, has launched 10 scholarships for pupils whereby these individuals will be offered a 10 per cent discount in annual school fees.

These scholarships will be awarded to independent, creative thinkers with broad intellectual interests with three scholarships across Year 5, two scholarships across Year 6, three scholarships across Year 7 and two scholarships across Year 8.

David Cook, Headmaster of Repton School Dubai, said, “I am delighted to announce the launch of the Repton Dubai Scholarships on this occasion through which we hope to reward pupils who demonstrate outstanding ability and effort in Academics, The Arts, Music and Sports, while enriching our school environment.”

In response to the current economic pressure on parents, the school has also decided to reduce fees in the Senior School by an average of 10 per cent with the fee reduction effective from the Academic Year 2018-19. Repton School has also decided to implement a freeze on Junior School fees for the next academic year.

He said that during the past 10 years, the school has been actively contributing to uplifting the standard of education in the UAE by supporting the KHDA and the community in line with the UAE National Agenda targets.

“We will continue to work on expanding our focus on world-class education beyond the classroom and academic results by giving our pupils opportunities to build their character and really flourish as individuals,” he added.

To mark the 10th anniversary, Repton School Dubai hosted an Open Day on its campus hosting various exhibits and activities for parents and visitors.
