Sports Awards Dinner

We were delighted to be able to host the annual sports awards at Sandy Park last night with over 200 senior athletes joined by staff and parents to celebrate the sporting successes of the schools’ senior teams and individuals. The team at Sandy Park provided a wonderful three course meal whilst the guests were entertained by speeches from the heads of sports and 1st team captains as they reflected on their season and time at Exeter School. Huge credit to all of the leavers who spoke so eloquently. It was also an opportunity to say farewell to departing staff in Rob Hudson-Daw, Alice Francis, Giles Trelawny and Andy Mason. It was great to welcome Mr Mason back for the evening and he was able to be present as the school introduced a new award, The Mason Cup. The award will be presented annually  to the outstanding Upper Sixth sportsman & sportswoman who have represented multiple 1^st teams, achieved representative honours and been ambassadors for sport during their time at Exeter School. The inaugural winners were Harry W. (1st XI Hockey captain, 1st XI Football & 1st XI Cricket) and Georgia R. (1st XI Hockey and 1st XI Cricket) and we are sure than many talented individuals will have their name on the cup in future years.

Each of the schools’ senior sports were recognised with awards given for; Player of the Season to the outstanding player of the 2023-24 season, team player of the year for outstanding performances and the player who always puts the team first, virtues Awards for squad members who epitomize the virtues of the school through their character in sport, colours 2023-24 were awarded to pupils whose 1^st team performances, commitment & virtues have been outstanding and finally individual Sport Cups for excellence, commitment, and services to their chosen sport.
