One hour. One theme. One object.
As part of our House Competition, pupils took part in a one-hour Scratch game design challenge.
Working individually or in small teams, they were asked to create a game based on the theme Adventure, with the additional requirement of including a “key” used meaningfully within gameplay. This encouraged pupils to think carefully about how a single element could influence the mechanics, narrative, and progression.
The challenge was designed to be accessible to all abilities, while promoting creativity, problem solving and computational thinking.
Pupils explored different ways a key could unlock, reveal, or transform aspects of their games, resulting in a wide range of thoughtful and imaginative outcomes.
Huge well done to everyone who took part, and thank you to our judges, Gracie and Mr McGrath, for putting the games to the test!

The sun has been shining for the start of our summer term so far but seeing as it has dipped a little this afternoon, we thought we`d bring you a splash of colour from right before Easter. Our Young Changemakers, a team of sixth form pupils, working with @hospiscaredevon, learning about end-of-life care and how to support fundraising efforts, brought our annual Colour Run into life for our Years 7 and 8 pupils.
They got stuck in and the professional organisation, care and support they offered to their younger counterparts shined through in the smiles. We`ll catch up with them and bring you the total amount raised soon 👏

1st Cricket vs Wellington - beaten by the rain today but not before the 1st XI had scored 160-4 (Jacob 55, Marcus 44*, Ross 28) in a shortened format of 20 overs. Wellington had reached 96-2 in reply and it was all set up for an exciting finish before the rain ☔️ arrived! @exeterschooluk #cricket #schoolscricket #exeterschoolsport #schoolofgreatcharacter
