After the sports gala dinner last Friday, some pupils headed straight out again the same night to take on the 1633 Challenge on Dartmoor. We heard from pupils who had helped out their classmates by pitching both sets of tents for their fellow late arrivals - their service and collaboration virtues ...working well there.

This important event allows us to recognise the commitment, effort and progress shown by all pupils involved in Ten Tors training, including those who may not be able to take part in the final event itself because of the limited number of places. It is a reminder that character is built as much in preparation and perseverance as in participation. It is also a memory that many Exonians hold dear - Exeter School Alumni. Well done everyone. We hope you're putting your feet up this Sunday 😊

🥚The Lower Sixth Psychology pupils have just completed their much anticipated 'eggsperiment'. 🥚

The 'eggsperiment' in psychology is a popular, hands-on educational project for pupils to understand developmental, attachment, and developmental psychology. ...Participants raise a decorated raw egg as a "child" for 1–2 weeks, documenting care to experience the responsibilities, emotional attachment, and challenges of parenting.

We hope the bonds have started well and that no one has forgotten eggs in lockers and we look forward to their presentations after Easter.

Back towards the end of November, we posted pictures of our junior school pupils in the paddock gardens with the help of our grounds team, educating them about essential bulb planting skills.

Those same pupils came back last week to help Mr Lee cut and prepare bouquets carefully tagged ...and then went to teachers who had been instrumental in helping with some big events in their lives recently to share some smiles and say thank you.

Perfect feeling for a Good Friday post 😁

🏏Free professional learning event for sport coaches - spread the word⚽️

We are delighted to be partnering with Leeds Beckett University to host a Knowledge Exchange Event at Exeter School, bringing together school-based practitioners for a collaborative day focused on long-term ...athletic development (LTAD) in schools.

This free professional learning event invites PE teachers, sport coaches, athletic development coaches and directors of sport to connect, share practice and explore how schools can create joined-up, sustainable athletic development programmes that support every young person. Across the day, delegates will move from theory into practice through a carefully structured programme of discussion, workshops and practical sessions, designed to support the creation of a shared vision across PE, sport and strength and conditioning.

Participants will explore how schools can work more collaboratively to strengthen long-term athletic development, while addressing key challenges such as workload balance and the demands placed on both staff and students. The event will also highlight innovative and collaborative approaches to athletic development, encouraging practitioners to share ideas, challenge current practice and develop practical solutions that can be implemented within their own school environments.

👏Congratulations and thank you to our hard working senior prefect teams 👏

Today, Sophia, Emma, Max, Delilah and Tyler step down to concentrate on their A Level exams and next steps. We rewarded them with Kit Kats 🍫 we had stashed away for some reason 🧐 Suffice to say, we hope ...they are going to be taking a bit of a break over the next couple of weeks. Thank you, truly, for all your hard work.

Welcome on board to Poppy, Connie, Sebastian, Hugo and Marcus - you already make such a great team and we can't wait to see you all taking on this leadership role, embodying the virtues that make Exeter School the fun, fabulous and successful school it is.

The annual sports awards dinner took place on Friday with 240 invited guests coming together at @sandyparkexeter for a fabulous evening. This much anticipated event marks the end of the spring term and provides the perfect setting to celebrate the many successes and people involved in a year of ...sporting excellence.

'We can do anything' perfectly sums up the outstanding achievements our pupils make at Exeter School and beyond. Like what you see? Want to be part of this? Register for our next open evening on 7 May and you could be 😎

🎬We had 60 pupils take their @lamdadrama exams on Friday (which happened to be World Theatre Day) from Grade 1 to Grade 8 in Acting, Public Speaking and Devising and they all seemed so happy and confident with how they went.

👏 Mrs Gibson and Mr Edwards are extremely proud of them ...all.

📸 Only Rory and Louis still had enough energy to pose for the camera

Sending good luck to our pupils out at Ford Farm this year for the annual 1633 challenge!

As part of the preparation for the @armytentors challenge, this has become a steadfast part of our school calendar of activities with crossing the finishing line earning a certificate as a rite of ...passage. We hope you are all enjoying the experience.

What a glorious day we had at @exetercathedral on Wednesday afternoon for Founders' Day! Although incredibly windy, the sun and smiles were definitely out. Our boys and girls did us proud with their musical and oratory displays as well as their clear pride and enjoyment of inclusion in our ...community.

The size and success of our school could hardly have been anticipated by our Founders, back in 1633; but it is a tribute to their foresight, generosity and vision that Exeter School can celebrate more than three centuries of achievement here.

Thanks to Gillman & Soame for a quick leavers photo for our Upper Sixth this morning. Timed impeccably well for the raindrops and so pleased not to have yesterday's gales! You looked so smart everyone - can't wait to see the finished result 🤩

Bringing maths to life ✨

Our Lower Fifth pupils enjoyed exploring the volume and surface area of cylinders through a hands-on practical activity.

Using a range of real-life cyclinders – including cake tins, coffee jars and hairspray cans – they took measurements and applied... their learning to real-world examples.

Last Friday the Royal Navy CCF section held their first Passing Out Parade, a formal ceremony where new entrants receive their first RN rank slide which marks the completion of Initial Naval training, where new cadets demonstrate drill, discipline, and skills learnt over the past few months.
...
The Royal Navy section marks this with our Year 10 pupils with a formal parade and pass out ceremony, with the L6 Ceremonial Guard where they receive their first RN rank slide. This year, the inspecting officer was Lt Adam Horne of the Commando Logistic Regiment Royal Marines. Lt Horne presented rank slides and then gave a very informative talk about his career with Royal Marines to date from Cadet to Warrant Officer and now to Lieutenant. With grateful thanks to Lt Horne and Lt Andy Yarwood RN who made the day a great success.
