A New Heaven and a New Earth
There’s obviously a nervousness in the air concerning the development, progress or regress of the CVP. However, the children are back at School and huge amounts of energy and thought have been given by all the staff and yourselves, not only concerning safety but also to keep awareness as well as hope alive and thriving.

ECS Sets Sail for Success
ECS is celebrating success on the seas this week as Rosalila, a Year 8 pupil and Cathedral Chorister, set sail for the British Youth Sailing Regional Junior Championships at Weymouth last month. Rosalila swapped the Choir Stalls for the water as she competed in the South West RS 20” Feva class, sailing as part of […]
From Ballroom to Classroom: Instilling Values the Strictly Way
I’ve really enjoyed the opening few weeks of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing. Settling down as a family to watch Tess and Claudia introduce the professionals and celebrities has become a bit of a ritual for our family over the years, and the opening theme to each Saturday night live show (good old Dave Arch) […]
The ECS Boarding Family
Antoine CM (Year 6) has had a fabulous week in the Boarding House. On Tuesday evening, during the music showcase, he played a beautiful piece on the piano. He had been practising every morning and every evening in the Boarding House to make sure he was ready. Antoine’s behaviour and attitude have been excellent this […]
A Sign of Presence
There are five aspects of the Eucharist, the first two of which I’ve tried to describe and on which I’ve reflected in the previous two letters. You may find it helpful to remind yourself of them. This week, I look at the Third aspect, which forms the centre of the Eucharist. There’s one word that’s […]
The Challenge of Choice
Anyone in the park this morning must have wondered what on earth I was doing as I hastily scribbled down these words on the first piece of paper I could find in my bag. You see, I’ve been trying to write this blog for the last 10 days and, having chosen to reject all of […]
Beyond Education in the Boarding House
Margot CM (Year 7) is our Star Boarder this week. Margot is known by the whole boarding community as a lovely and kind friend who cares and looks after everyone, whether they are children or adults. Margot always sets an example for all the boarders, and she deserves to be star boarder every week of […]
The Importance of The Word
One of the important features of Exeter Cathedral School is our regular Eucharist that’s held in our Cathedral. After all, the School is an Anglican Foundation. Of course, we haven’t been able to have an ECS Eucharist in the Cathedral because of C-19. In this letter, I’m moving on to the third of the five […]
Your voice is a superpower
How can we responsibly use our voice? Is your voice tolerant, accepting, kind or inclusive? How often do you find yourself using your voice more or less than others? Do you know how your voice impacts those around you? All of these questions, and more, were asked to ECS pupils and staff this week as […]
Cosy nights in the Boarding House
Our Star Boarder this week is Milo (Year 7). Milo joined the School as a full boarder at the start of term and has impressed many members of the boarding team. Milo settled down very quickly and soon became part of the boarding family. He has showed a great deal of maturity, a fantastic, positive […]
