Junior Reflections Week 26 2024

We are finalists! 🎉

Exeter School has been named a finalist in the Student Careers category at this year’s Independent Schools of the Year Awards, in recognition of our Futures Programme.

This is a fantastic achievement for Exeter School and a wonderful recognition from @independentschoolparent of the work we do to prepare our pupils for life beyond school. We’re also delighted to be recognised alongside @schoolblazeruk, our school uniform provider and partner.

They recently highlighted one of the programme’s particular strengths - our Upper Sixth Interview Scheme, where pupils take part in mock interviews with professional partners, alumni and parents. The scheme provides invaluable real-world experience, helping pupils build confidence and develop essential interview skills ahead of university and job applications.

We are incredibly proud to see our Futures Programme recognised in this way. 🌟

Congratulations to 1st XI captain Josh who scored his second county century for @devoncricket yesterday, 119 not out against Oxfordshire in their 3-day match. This follows his 119 against Wiltshire in the T20 fixture two weeks ago. Devon have progressed to the QF of the T20 comp which takes place later this month. We hope Josh continues his good form!

Sam proudly represented Exeter School by completing his first-ever half marathon, alongside former professional rugby player David ‘Jacko’ Jackson and Simon Beatham, Director of Rugby at @nottinghamrugby Club. 🏃‍♂️

Having enjoyed the experience so much, Sam met up with Jacko again later in the week and went on to complete his second half marathon! 👏

Jacko is currently taking on an extraordinary challenge: running 100 ultramarathons in 100 consecutive days, aiming to break the world record while raising £1 million for brain injury charities @headway_uk and @headforchange.

Sam is now planning to travel to Bristol later this month to join Jacko at the location where he is due to complete his world-record attempt.

We’re incredibly proud of Sam for getting involved, supporting Jacko and representing Exeter School while helping to raise awareness for two fantastic charities.

A huge well done to Sam, two half marathons and counting! What an incredible achievement.

If you’d like to support Jacko’s incredible challenge and help him reach his fundraising goal, please see the link in our Linktree.
