School House, formerly known as The Hall (Repton)

Boys' boarding house, at one time with the most students of any boarding house in the nation. Also houses the hapless headmaster of Repton School.

Part of the structure dates back to the 1100s: a tower of grey stone that once housed Prior Overton. (This is still faintly visible from the back of the house, along the Old Trent.)

The top floor features boy's dorms and a perilous ledge running all the way around the front of the building. The view from there is amazing, or so I've been told, as actually going on the ledge is strictly forbidden.

Every spring, thousands of frogs assault the front of the house, trying to get to the back of the house and into the Trent, unaware that humans have put a large nonpermeable structure in the way.
