Our Community
Situated in the Dubai Science Park, Repton Al Barsha is well located for enhancing community life. The school campus offers many additional clubs, sporting venues and hall space for use by external groups.
The parent and friends group, known as Friends of Repton (FoR) is a valuable element in bringing the whole Repton Community together through events, coffee mornings and activities. Each class has a Class Social Representative to help draw these areas together.

Friends of Repton
The FoR Committee is a voluntary group of parent representatives, responsible for organising events and initiatives on behalf of FoR, to engage the parent community and enhance the broader school community including children, parents, teachers and support staff. Our aim is to bring the Repton Al Barsha family together as well as raise awareness of important environmental and humanitarian issues. Our motto: Be Kind.
FoR – you are the heart of our school. The BEST time last night at the ball. So well organized, every last detail as always
Well done FoR – another fantastic event! All the details, personal touches…. So much effort has clearly gone into making it so wonderful for us. Thank you SO much
