Adventure, teamwork and unforgettable memories. ⚓
From Royal Marines-inspired training and tactical challenges at @royalnavy HMS Raleigh to kayaking and paddleboarding in Salcombe, our cadets embraced every opportunity to build confidence, resilience and leadership skills.
A ...particular highlight was their visit to the Isles of Scilly, where they were invited onto the bridge of the Scillonian and were lucky enough to spot pods of dolphins along the way.
Well done to all 23 cadets for representing Exeter School with such enthusiasm, resilience and teamwork throughout the week. 👏⛴

Summer holiday fun! ⛳🏌️♂️
Sami, from Upper Two and soon to be in Third Form, was lucky enough to attend the final day of The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, Southport with his dad.
It was an inspiring experience as he watched some of his favourite golfers in ...action. The highlight of his day was being interviewed by Sky News which was an exciting moment he won't forget!
The experience has made Sami even more enthusiastic about golf, and he can't wait to practise and play more over the summer.

Today, on National Nature Conservation Day, we’re celebrating the beautiful natural environment that makes Exeter School such a special place to learn, explore and grow.
From birds and insects to mature trees and green spaces, our grounds provide a wonderful home for wildlife throughout ...the seasons creating a unique setting where pupils can connect with nature every day. 🌳🐦
A huge thank you goes to our dedicated Grounds Team, whose hard work and expertise help care for our campus and create an environment where nature can thrive.
Earlier this year, we were delighted to welcome some very special visitors to school - a group of lambs who spent a day on campus in a dedicated pen. Their visit brought plenty of excitement and smiles to pupils and staff, offering a lovely opportunity to experience a little piece of the Devon countryside at school. 🐑
At Exeter School, we believe that helping young people understand and appreciate the natural world is an important part of their education. Whether discovering wildlife around campus, learning outdoors or simply enjoying our green spaces, these everyday experiences encourage curiosity, respect and a lifelong appreciation for the environment.

Form One Roman Day 🛡️
Our Form One pupils stepped back in time for an exciting Roman Day, where history truly came to life!
Throughout the day, they explored the fascinating world of the Ancient Romans, discovering what life was like for Roman soldiers. From creating their ...own Roman soldier identities to learning how to defend themselves using Roman shields, the pupils embraced every challenge with enthusiasm.
It was a fantastic day filled with fun, creativity, and hands-on learning. We loved seeing everyone's incredible Roman outfits and watching the pupils embrace history with such enthusiasm!
What a wonderful way to bring history to life!
Earlier this year, our Form One pupils created individual Heart Maps during their PSHE lessons, exploring their emotions, memories, and sense of place.
Each pupil chose a colour to represent a particular emotion, reflecting on how that feeling connects to places and experiences in their ...lives. Using watercolours and thoughtful illustrations, they created unique heart artworks before carefully cutting out the centre of each one. These smaller hearts were then brought together to create one stunning collaborative piece, symbolising the strength of our community.
The finished collaborative artworks were then raffled during our Junior School Sports Day to raise money for the Exeter Oncology Department.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community, the raffle raised an amazing £1,278.28!
This is a fantastic achievement, and we're so proud of our pupils for creating something so meaningful that has gone on to make a real difference. Thank you to everyone who bought a raffle ticket and helped turn creativity into compassion. 💛
