An incredible achievement! Mr Maidment finished his fifth ultra marathon (50km +) tonight. Supported by Mr Jones he ran from @westbucklandschool to @exeterschooluk🏃🏽♂️💥
That’s 5 ultra-marathons in 5 weeks in support of Movember 🥸. Tonight’s was made even more ...incredible because he ran number 4 on Wednesday night - only 72 hours ago!

Flashback to the fun of last Friday when we had sixth form karaoke fun and a junior school disco at the same time. It just goes to show that there are opportunities to get up and dance at Exeter School, no matter what your age 💃🕺
We're especially looking forward to the upcoming ...Grease production next week and Christmas House day on 10 December 😎

Our wonderful @sodexouk_ire caterers treated us to an Asian themed day last week with a Thai style lunch. You could sample some peach iced tea on the way in - did anyone try the one with the red chilli in it? There were curries, Pad Thai, lychees in the fruit salad, and lots of colourful ...decoration to brighten the dark days we've been having.
Thank you to Graeme Swann and his team - it was a real treat👏

From flower planting news yesterday to bringing you learning about farming in Devon and a bit of cheese tasting today - it's never blue in our junior school. Last week pupils in both Upper One (Y4) classes very Caerphilly sampled different types of cheese as part of their geography learning. ...They weren't happ-brie about the Stilton but the Cheddar was a cracker. They also learnt what was involved in the process of making cheese - we wonder what festivi-cheese they'll be up to next!

The Chamber Concert in our chapel last week was such a joy to experience, especially as it was snowed off in 2024! The venue provides a beautiful acoustic and it was a full house. The audience were treated to solo performances, chamber music, and ensembles on a wide range of instruments and ...vocals.
With both the music and drama departments working hard preparing for the school production of Grease, the concert provided the opportunity for a sneak preview of a couple of scenes. The evening was rounded off with refreshments in the Music Hall which is the venue for our next event, the informal vocal concert tomorrow at 4pm - all are welcome.

While it's getting wet and frosty, our junior school pupils were out last week preparing to give us all something to smile about in the spring. The gardening club were out in a new space that's been carved out in the paddock, planting spring-flowering bulbs like tulips, crocuses and ...daffodils.
They love getting practical advice from our grounds team about how deep to dig, how far apart to space the bulbs and generally getting a bit muddy🌷

📢'Mum! This is the school I want to go to!' 📢
We had some very special visitors on Saturday morning for our junior school 'Inspiring Minds' taster activity morning. They had the chance to try out swimming lessons, fun science with Mr Pidwell, art classes creating ...such colourful masterpieces to take home and much more. The above quote was overheard as we returned them to their parents at the end of the session and we can honestly say it was a pleasure having you all here 😊
Our favourite class activity was sampled by this year's Lower Sixth in psychology last week - sampling methods using skittles reinforcing the different methods (random, opportunity, systematic, stratified and volunteer) and whether a bias sample or representative sample is achieved.
On Tuesday evening, a group of local doctors kindly gave up their time to run a series of interviews for U6 pupils applying for Medicine or Veterinary Science.
This event works like speed dating style rotation, providing a wonderful experience to experience the pressure and preparation ...needed for interviews.
Dr Jon Evans gave a very helpful insight into what universities are looking for and some top tips for the pupils to remember. A huge thanks to all the doctors who gave their time, and especially Dr Jon Phillips who organised the event.
