Pastoral Care

Meet the Pastoral and Safeguarding Team

Our experienced and compassionate pastoral staff work closely with pupils, parents, and teachers to provide individualised care and support. Our team is always available to listen, provide guidance, and offer a helping hand whenever needed.

We believe that a strong partnership between school, home, and the wider community is crucial for the well-being of our pupils. We encourage open communication and collaboration to ensure that every pupil feels heard, understood, and valued.

Exeter School’s Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy is available on this website.

If you are worried about a pupil, then it is your responsibility to contact a member of the Safeguarding and Child Protection Team.

Open evening - 8 May

At Exeter School we believe that education is about the moments that make us. Meaningful moments that get etched in our memories and the everyday kindness that makes them possible. We welcome you to discover Exeter School in the best way possible. See it. Experience it. Ask questions to the people who matter the most – our pupils.
