ECS Pupils Enjoy Tranquil New Space

Pupils in Year 7 and Year 8 can now enjoy an extra daily dose of serenity at breaktimes.

Thanks to our wonderful relationship with our friends and neighbours at Exeter Cathedral, our senior pupils are able to make use of the beautiful new Cloister Garth each morning.

The Cloisters provide the perfect spot to meet friends, sit and relax on the grass, chat in the sun or in the shade of the Medieval buttresses, play some cards together, or enjoy a sweet treat from the Cathedral Café!
