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.

Come and see my shining palaces built upon the sand.”
