新年快乐 from Year 4
新年快乐 (Happy New Year) from Year 4 We were very lucky in 4B as Elizabeth D gave us a lesson all about her family in China and how Chinese people celebrate the Lunar New Year (or Spring Festival). We learned that the celebrations begin on 25th January this year and that we are entering the […]
Eco Week – What did they get up to?
Last week, Hall House was buzzing with the excitement of Eco Week – a packed week of activities designed to teach the children to be aware of their planet and how to take good care of it. A lot happened over those five days and each year group has provided an insight into what they […]
Artists of the Week
Many of our pupils have watched the short film called ‘Austin’s Butterfly’. This shows how much better a young boy can make his picture from listening to advice and looking harder (like a scientist) at the subject. These two pupils have proved how much progress they can make from this process. It’s incredible to see […]
Headmaster’s Blog
This week’s blog is from the Friends of Exeter Cathedral School (FECS) team. We often hear parents ask the question ‘What is FECS?’ so we thought we’d take this opportunity to say who we are and what we do for the children and families at ECS. We are a group of parents and teachers who […]

Boarding House News
It has been quite challenging to pick one boarder who stood out from the rest of this wonderful community this term. For some of them who started to board last September, it was a completely new experience and they soon realised that it came with its challenges. However, less experienced boarders and old boarders all […]
Sport News
The first full week back has been a little testing for outdoor sports. The weather has not been kind to us, however, the good news is that our close skills in hockey are progressing nicely because indoor hockey is such a fast game where the boys have needed to show great control. Mr Pennington and I […]
Headmaster’s Blog
Harry Potter – heard of him? – featured fairly prominently in our house over the Christmas holidays. Thanks to some generous and on-the-ball friends and relatives, we can now enjoy wall-to-wall wizardry: in the car via what I still refer to as ‘story-tapes’; at bedtime via the books (paperback and hardback); through the robes and […]
