Our Middle Fifth pupils battled strong winds and plenty of sea spray to undertake their physical geography fieldwork at Dawlish Warren 🌊
They started by considering why the coastline at Dawlish needs protecting, and worked out exactly what management methods are in place. In the Read moreafternoon, they measured sediment and sand height to answer the question: is longshore drift taking place at Dawlish Warren?
Despite the inclement weather, much ice cream was enjoyed on a well earned lunch break 🍦
Well done, everyone!

A Wonderful Alumni Reunion 🎓
Dr Adrian Rainbow had the pleasure of meeting John Davidson (staff, 1976–2018) at one of our recent Alumni events.
John came to Exeter School as a "young geography teacher," before becoming an officer in the RAF Section from 1979 to Read more1992, and Officer Commanding RAF Section from 1981 to 1988. In 1988, he became Head of Geography, later joining the Senior Management Team, and in 2012 was asked to set up our Alumni Office, where he reconnected with many past pupils he had once taught.
It was so lovely for the two of them to meet, and for Dr Rainbow to hear all about John's experiences here at Exeter School.
