Houses
Repton school has 10 houses, 6 for boys and 4 for girls. The boys' houses are The Cross, Latham House, The Priory, New House, The Orchard, and School House, each consisting of about 65 boys across 5 school years. The girls' houses are The Abbey, Field House, The Garden, and The Mitre (which used to be a boys house), with roughly the same number of members each. School House was originally two houses (some would say three). Hall and Brook House were joined together as houses. The original Brook House building has now been converted to flats. Hall was also split into A-K and L-Z but that was ended by the time of the conjunction.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“Nothing will be left white but here a birch,
And there a clump of houses with a church.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I like old people when they have aged well. And old houses with an accumulation of sweet honest living in them are good. And the timelessness that only the passing of Time itself can give to objects both inside and outside the spirit is a continuing reassurance.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
