Upcoming Alumni Events

Alumni and friends of the school are invited to join us for a charity touch rugby tournament on Friday 5 September. The first match will be played at 4.30pm, and you can arrive to warm up from 4.00pm. Rumour has it that some familiar faces from coaching days past will be there…

Teams of up to 10 players will play five or six a side with subs, and there will be drinks afterwards.

Please let us know if you would like to play here, so we can follow up with full logistical details before the event. Places at the tournament are £8.00, and payment can be made on the day by cash or card.

And please do share this invite with other people who you think might be interested.

The event is in aid of and supported by Wooden Spoon, the children’s charity of rugby. It would be wonderful to have you there either as a player or spectator – this will be a great opportunity to meet up with fellow alumni and return to the Exeter School sports pitches – all whilst raising money for a worthwhile cause.

Any questions, please contact the Alumni and Development office in the first instance, at alumni@exeterschool.org.uk or 01392 307080.

We are delighted to invite the classes of ’23, ’24 and ‘25 back to school for drinks on Friday 5 September from 5.30-7.30pm.

The event will be hosted in either the Butterfield Hall or the Pavilion, and the location will be confirmed nearer the time. We hope you will join us to catch up with old friends and former teachers with a drink and refreshments.

The event is free but we will need guests to register by Thursday 29 August via the booking form here.

Please join us for a really enjoyable evening at the Exonian quiz on Friday 3 October, 7.00pm-10.00pm. The quiz has been written by John Davidson (staff, 1976-2018) and Steve Perring (1977-1981) and will be presided over by quizmasters Giles Trelawny (staff, 1993-2024) and Helen Sail (née Bird; staff, 1989-1993, 2007-2025).

Tickets are £6 per person or £36 for a team, with a maximum of six people per team.  Please do feel free to book as an individual or smaller group, and we will we match people to form a team. The evening is a great way to meet others from the wider school community.

All proceeds go to the school’s bursary fund, and top-quality prizes are awarded to our winning teams.

Bring along some food and enjoy a selection of very reasonably priced dinks from our bar on the night.
