Welcome to Exeter School

Exeter School is an independent day school for boys and girls aged 7-18. In the Senior School there are 700 pupils aged between 11 and 18 and almost 200 in the Junior School aged between 7 and 11.

The School aims to promote high ethical standards and to broaden cultural horizons. It is committed to the creation of a happy and caring fully co-educational environment in which its pupils are able to realise their complete potential.

The School was founded in 1633 and has maintained a leading role in the provision of high-quality independent education in the county of Devon. With 70 full and part-time teaching staff and over 30 peripatetic music tutors and excellent modern facilities, Exeter School can offer the very best education for the twenty-first century.

Within a Christian framework, Exeter School seeks to develop values of honesty, self-discipline, commitment and self-motivation, enabling pupils to play a positive role in the broader community, and preparing them for the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of adult life.

“This is a most satisfying set of results for a year group which has contributed significantly to the academic, cultural, outdoor and sporting life of the school. These high academic outcomes do them real credit and should set them up for bright futures; although there is a particular pressure on places this year, the great majority of our young people are heading to the universities of their choice, mainly in the Russell Group. I congratulate all our pupils and staff, whose hard work and ambition have made this possible.”
