We've had a glorious day welcoming new pupils, helping to get them transitioned into school before everyone returns on Monday. We absolutely love our new uniform and want to thank @schoolblazeruk and all our parents for ensuring it looks so smart.
Lots of activities such as penning ...details about interests, site tours with sixth form ambassadors and visits to discover lockers and changing rooms means pupils should have lots of stories to tell this evening. We are so pleased to welcome them to Exeter School and hope they have an amazing year and many more beyond.

Summer experiences will have been varied so we love hearing the options our pupils explore.
Rosalila, going into Lower Sixth, had the opportunity to go on the @nationalyouthchoir residential this summer. She said, "There was real community of people and everyone was so friendly. I ...really enjoyed being part of such a welcoming group and it was wonderful to be in a choir with people who love singing and wanted to do their best to create amazing music. The range of songs was inspired and enlightening, from beautiful choral music, to jazzy songs, a capella singing to a Spanish fishing song. One song was created with Argentinian native languages and our Argentinian conductor told us about the origins and taught us some Latin dance moves. We even had a chance to speak to composers about their work which added more depth to our performance."

Last week we posted about the amazing opportunities available to our RAF cadets at Exeter School. We've heard from Tom, who has just received A Level results this summer, recounting his experience last week.
"I was lucky enough to spend just over a week at RAF Little Rissington ...with 612 VGS participating in a gliding scholarship which I applied for through the RAF section of the CCF. The weather was perfect allowing me to be in the air for all 7 flying days. Throughout the week I learnt from a team of highly experienced instructors both in the classroom and in the air everything I needed to achieve solo standard. I put this into practice on the penultimate day completing a 6 minute circuit without an instructor in the aircraft with me. Not only was I in a beautiful area with amazing aerial views of the Cotswolds but also I was well looked after with comfortable accommodation and lots of great food. It was certainly a week that I will never forget and I am very thankful to Dr Smale for helping me through the application process."

Good luck to @exschsports pupils Josh, Marcus and Mo who are off to Surrey tomorrow to play in the semi-finals of U16 ECB Cup. They qualified following a thrilling win the quarter-final vs Essex bowling them out for 149 and chasing the total in less than 25 overs.

A couple of weeks ago, eight cadets spent the day with @626vgs (Volunteer Gliding Squadron) at Predannack airfield in Cornwall.
They completed the safety brief and emergency training then headed out to the airfield where they were hands on through the day.
The cadets helped to ...retrieve, launch and manoeuvre the Viking gliders and they all got to experience the thrill of the launch and flight.

Look at all these smiles as our community came together for a summer barbecue to mark Independence Day last month 😎
We've really missed seeing everyone on site over the summer and are very much looking forward to coming together again, greeting our new pupils next week, then seeing... everybody on Monday 8 Sept. Get those last barbecues in at home while you can... but we bet you won't have a hawk on hand to keep the seagulls at bay! 🌞

It's World Photography Week so we got in touch with Upper Sixth pupil Alex to see if he had anything in his portfolio that he didn't mind sharing. We've been so impressed by these that we're inviting him to take some photos around school with us in the coming weeks.
...We're excited to see his skills progress even further over time as these are magnificent. You can check out more of his pictures on Instagram at @alexwrefordphotography.

Our pupils have shone in GCSEs, with 23% of all grades being grade 9. Furthermore, 47% of grades awarded were a grade 8 or 9.
Acting Head of Exeter School, Mr Graham Bone said: “As I take up the role of Acting Head, it is a privilege to share in the celebration of these fantastic ...results. Our Year 11 pupils have again shown themselves to be hard-working, diligent Exonians who have made the most of our outstanding teaching, top quality pastoral care, and the wide range of opportunities that Exeter School offers. We are delighted with their GCSE grades: with almost a quarter of results at the top grade of 9 and 47% at the top two grades, there is much to be proud of, and I want to thank all our staff, especially our dedicated teachers, in helping our pupils achieve these excellent outcomes."

Exeter School’s 2025 sixth form leavers returned yesterday to share in the celebration of their A Level and BTEC results, reflecting on personal goals achieved, challenges overcome, and the character that defines our school. At A Level, more than half of all grades were either an A* or A with 83%... of all grades being A*, A or B. At BTEC, 100% of all grades recorded are at Distinction* or Distinction.
Head Ms Louise Simpson said: “A Level and BTEC qualifications continue to pave the way for our leavers’ next steps to university, degree apprenticeships and the world of work. It is especially rewarding in my final year at the school to see so many of the outgoing Upper Sixth secure their chosen university place, including at Oxbridge and within the Russell Group.”
