We are delighted to announce that St Wystan’s School has been named Independent Prep School of the Year 2025 – East Midlands in the prestigious Midlands Enterprise Awards, organised by SME News.

The Midlands Enterprise Awards recognise the diversity, excellence, and innovation found across the region’s business and educational landscape. Awards are given solely on merit, celebrating organisations whose ingenuity, dedication, and impact set them apart from competitors. This year’s winners represent the very best of the Midlands, and we are proud to be counted among them.

Located in the heart of the village of Repton, Derbyshire, St Wystan’s is a small school with a big heart. Catering for boys and girls aged 4 to 11, we provide a nurturing learning environment where every child feels valued, supported, and confident to achieve their full potential. As part of the Repton Family of Schools, we combine the warmth of a close-knit community with the opportunities of a broader educational network.

Headteacher Ms Kara Lebihan said: “This award is a true testament to the passion and dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm and achievements of our pupils, and the unwavering support of our families. At St Wystan’s, we pride ourselves on knowing each child as an individual, nurturing their unique talents, and encouraging them to shine. Being recognised as Independent Prep School of the Year is a proud moment for our whole community.”

We thank SME News for this wonderful recognition. This accolade reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional education, rich in opportunity, warmth, and ambition.
