Adventure, teamwork and unforgettable memories. ⚓

From Royal Marines-inspired training and tactical challenges at Royal Navy 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. 👏⛴

A huge congratulations to Annabel, Isabelle, Benjamin and Alfie on representing TA at the England Hockey TA Cup at the end of July! 🏑

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.

What an incredible experience! 🌟

Don't forget to send us your achievements or any exciting adventures you've had over the summer, we would love to celebrate them with you!

From challenge to charity 🏊‍♀️

The fundraising total is a testament to the determination, resilience and teamwork shown by every pupil who took part, as well as the generosity of everyone who supported the challenge. 👏
