⛵ Congratulations to our Exeter sailors on their fantastic performances at the South & Southwest Regional Junior Championships at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy!
Competing against 165 sailors in challenging conditions, all five students demonstrated outstanding skill,... determination and sportsmanship. Special congratulations to Stefan (L5), who finished 3rd overall and 1st in the South West in the RS Tera Pro fleet, and to Will (M5), who secured an excellent 2nd overall in the RS Feva fleet.
Well done to Will, Archie, Stefan, Rory and Oliver on representing their clubs and Exeter so brilliantly!

In a bid to offer alternative options at break times today to get out of the hot sun, a group of junior school boys tested out a new enrichment option by battling their beys - a duelling game of spinning metal tops.
With the comparisons of Wizard Rod to Buster Dran being made as to which ...launched more successfully, we think we'll be well on our way to having some new members for the @devonbeybladeassociation soon.

It's a special day today for a lot of the male figures in our lives but also a great opportunity to reflect on any role models who inspire us.
It's also the end of men's mental health week so we've pulled together some of our favourite images to show the activities ...that our pupils use to destress, connect and collaborate and the inspirational characters that help them to do that.
Take a moment today to reflect on who you have to thank in your life. Remember there is always someone to listen - we have a great team here with Rm 3 and our community is here to support.

We are pleased to share that Isabelle in Lower Two recently represented Devon as the number 2 seed in the 10U LTA County Cup held in Taunton.

She has been selected again in the 11U girls County Cup team to compete in Gloucester in a couple of weeks. Well done!

Sebastian in Lower Fifth (Year 9) has been out and about recently and came 3rd in the Open Masters category of a really tough adventure race in Wales last weekend. This involved trail running, mountain biking and kayaking whilst orienteering through the Brecon Beacons.
The event was ...organised by @questarsadventureraces and Seb entered as a family team. He had to plan the route first with a map and compass, then spent 6 hours running a half marathon off road, kayaking for an hour and mountain biking too!
He was the youngest participant! He also enjoys sailing and completed the Ten Tors this year as well as the TMB last summer aged 13. Well done Seb - we hope he inspires others too!

As we approach our end of academic year pleas to return missing library books from under the bed and other hiding places, we also wanted to shout about our new selection of books donated by @thebookeryhq.

🌊🏊♀️ What a night!
Eighteen Exeter School pupils took on an incredible overnight Channel Challenge at Topsham Pool on Friday evening, swimming the equivalent of the English Channel (33.9km) in relay teams between 8pm and 8am.
Through determination, teamwork and plenty... of encouragement, all three teams completed the challenge, with the fastest finishing in an impressive 10 hours 41 minutes.
The swimmers have already raised £1,240 for @hospiscaredevon in Exeter, one of the School’s chosen charities.
A huge thank you to our lifeguards, staff and the team at Topsham Pool for making this inspiring event possible.

Our Lower Two pupils enjoyed a fantastic geography field trip around Exeter city centre this week. From exploring land use in Princesshay and Southernhay to discovering the history of the Blue Boy statue and visiting the Guildhall dungeon, it was a day full of learning, exploration and sunshine. ...

Congratulations to all the Fourth Form pupils who volunteered their lunch break yesterday to take part in a local litter collection 🗑️🚮
This real-world action was part of their Lower School Ichnos award where achievements are accumulated to help pupils transition into secondary ...with teamwork and community activities. These also help to instil and strengthen our virtues to endeavour, inspire, act with integrity and provide service to others.

Lower Sixth have had such a jam packed Futures Week with visiting speakers and activities galore.
Thanks to @Judy Salmon for opening the week with talks on 'Making a positive impact' on Monday.
Tuesday brought a whole day of planning business projects as teams thanks to Mr ...Mackintosh, which saw pupils creating their enterprise display boards around an extremely friendly visiting local cat. Thanks also go to our alumni judges who gave up precious entrepreneurial time to guide pupils' ideas.
Wednesday saw a fun and action packed team building day with axe throwing and boules that would have had local clubs enthralled, eh @bowlsengland? 😆
Thursday brought @ucas_online guidance and university research before our pupils headed out into the world of university open days today.
We hope that they found this week a welcome break from mock exams and that it set them up ready for their university visits today - how did it all go everyone?
