Today has been all about our enrichment opportunities here at Exeter School with clubs in action in junior school and our annual Clubs & Societies lunchtime fair for senior pupils to see what's on offer and sign up.
Members from the Upper Two and Lower Two (Years 5 and 6) Maths enrichment club made various different tangrams - a traditional Chinese dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat geometric pieces, called "tans," that are formed by cutting a square into specific shapes. The objective of the puzzle is to use all seven tans, without overlap, to create specific patterns or images, such as animals, objects, and even letters. We had lots of success creating the fox!
Meanwhile, over in senior school, staff donned themed attire and brought out their telescopes, Warhammer and a myriad of other club-related paraphernalia to showcase everything on offer to our pupils here. There really is something for everyone. ... See MoreSee Less

Another amazing cricketing opportunity for Mo (U5) who attended an elite spin camp held at @lborosport on Monday & Tuesday.
Mo was able to meet and work with some current international cricketers and a few former ‘greats’ of the game. This follows a fabulous summer of cricket for Mo who represented @somersetcricketofficial 2nd XI and represented the ECB south west at the Bunbury festival.
