About

Home / About Us About Us Exeter School has a proud and strong reputation, established over almost four centuries, as a centre for educational excellence in the south-west.

Throughout that time the school has evolved into a vibrant, forward thinking, contemporary independent school of the highest quality; always seeking to move ahead and prepare its pupils for an ever-changing life beyond school.

It has been the vision of those who have come before us, and their willingness to change and seize opportunities, that has given us such a strong foundation today. We challenge all members of the Exonian community to excel beyond expectations, enabling them to lead fulfilling, happy and productive lives which make a positive contribution to the lives of others.

A supportive culture of excellence, pastoral care, academic challenge and character development underpins all we do.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
