Exeter Cathedral School is an ancient foundation with traditional values and a modern approach, providing a remarkably tailored education to girls and boys aged 3-13 in the heart of Exeter.

 

We seek to:

  • Be a happy and purposeful community where people matter.
  • Promote the central importance of the development of character.
  • Be a place where children can be children, where learning – in all its forms – is taken seriously, and where each and every child is known and valued as an individual.
  • Offer a first-rate all-round educational experience where the focus is on developing the whole child. Our job is to work with families to help our pupils acquire the right habits for life.
  • Foster a supportive, purposeful, stimulating and gently-Christian environment, in which the following provision to pupils is recognised as being paramount and held in high regard:

Academic rigour
Exceptional pastoral care and pupil wellbeing
Bright and modern facilities
A broad and exciting range of extra-curricular activities
A high-calibre sporting and wellbeing education
A world-class musical education
An unparalleled musical heritage and history
A sense of spirituality, timelessness, and wonder, borne out of our ancient foundations as a 12th century choir school
