The sunshine is giving us flashbacks to sports day two weeks ago.
What an awesome effort from everyone in senior school 👏
Head over to Flickr for more photos of the days events!

Last week Rufus, Finlay, Harvard, George, Tilly, Rosie, Niamh, Amelie, Max and Nathan attended the annual Exeter @royalnavy summer camp at HMS Raleigh which was their home the week. We used it as a springboard for day trips to Salcombe for Coasteering, HMS Drake, a dockyard tour and out to Plymouth... breakwater and up the river Tamar. They watched a recruit pass out parade, took part in an obstacle course, and raced each other on blow karts.
The highlight of the trip was that they boarded the Scillonian 3 where our lucky enthusiastic cadets took part in various seamanship tasks on the way to and back from the Isles of Scilly, which also included steering the boat whilst passengers were onboard. A huge shout out to the crew of the Scillonian and @islesofscillytravel who were very accommodating to our cadets and to Mr Collard for organising.

It's easy to see why, when asked what their favourite part of the school year is, our junior school pupils respond with 'trips' and 'residentials'.
Here's a flashback to last Tuesday when Lower Two went out on the water at @havenbanksoec. Making sure there ...was something that everyone felt comfortable in/on, there was a mix of stand up paddle boards, sit on tops, bell-boating and a blast on the climbing wall to dry off.
We hope they're continuing the outdoor pursuits they've been inspired with here during the summer break. Thanks @havenbanksoec for looking after them!
Farewell Ms Simpson! Thank you for all that you have done for Exeter School and good luck for your next steps.

Too much effort and too many pupils to include in a 90 sec reel but here are some highlights from today's house dance competition. And the winners were Goff!
Form One pupil, Alex, brought home 5 medals - 2 gold, 2 silver and a bronze - this weekend from the @dawlish_swimming_club Summer Splash 2025 event.
In the gala, Alex competed with other 4 local swimming clubs children who are at the same age group. We are incredibly proud of his ...achievement, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication he has put into his training. Well done Alex!

On Tuesday, the Lower Sixth psychology group went to @wethecurious_ in Bristol for a psychology experience day. They started the day doing people observations for research methods and then went to the workshop. The workshop covered all aspects of the psychology curriculum, using experiments to test... the pupils knowledge. It was a great trip!
Thanks for looking after us @wethecurious_ team!

Yesterday marked the final buddy event of the school year for our junior pupils. It's a lovely occasion where our Form One (Year 3) children created thoughtful cards for their Upper Two (Year 6) buddies and shared an ice-lolly as a token of gratitude.
It's clear how much the new... lower school pupils have valued the support and friendship of their U2 buddies, helping them feel welcome and settled in. We're already looking forward to another year of memorable buddy moments!

Our pupils teamwork and collaboration skills were put to good use on the Middle Fifth CCF RAF trip to Black Rock on Field Day. From raft building to tackling a high ropes course, they worked together throughout the day and it looks like they had a lot of fun in the process!

Ever wondered which moment of the year your children value the most at Exeter Junior School? We took to the playground on the last day of term last Wednesday to find out. After all, its the moments that make us.

We asked pupils what their favourite memories or thing they'd enjoyed most about life at Exeter Junior School this year. After all, it's the moments...

We are so impressed with what Amelie, going into U5 (Y11) after summer, has to say on the state of the oceans. It can be easy to forget what a huge proportion of the planet is made up of water so having ambassadors like Clean Sailors is a must for getting us to take action.
Lots of you ...are getting out into the water during the break so make sure you stay safe, take a look at what Amelie (@sailorgirlsw on Instagram) and Clean Sailors have to say and remember that you can make a difference for the future of your world around you.

Over a thousand Exeter School cadets have achieved their Emergency First Aid at Work qualification with Margaret's help.
She has been the first aid instructor for our CCF for over a decade and cadets have always been responsive to her instruction. We awarded Margaret with a special ...award in recognition of her service and we thank her profusely for all she has given.

Happy International Joke Day!
We hope you're having fun telling some of your favourite jokes today, but if you need some inspiration take a look at our junior school buddies sharing some of their own! 🤭

Our Upper Two pupils have been telling jokes with their buddies, who are new to the junior school. We've put together a compilation of some of our...

Well done to Julius (4F) who recently took part in a concert in Birmingham as part of the National Children's Orchestra Projects programme. A great experience to play with other young musicians from across the country. 🎺
