Library News
Year 2 It is lovely to see the Year 2 children enjoying the books in the Chantry Library each week. They are now familiar with where to find their favourite genres and often spend time reading and talking about what they have discovered. There are a number of very willing senior pupils who give up […]
Year 3 and 4 Enrichment Activity
On Tuesday 2nd May the Creative Arts Department from Queen’s Taunton School spent the day with Years 3 and 4. Using our wonderful Chapter House space and Kalendar Hall, the children were encouraged to draw an imaginary circle around themselves, their own “bubble” in which to experiment with all sorts of different sounds and use […]
Pre-Prep Pentecost Service
On Wednesday the whole of Pre-Prep, from Nursery to Year 2, gathered together in the Quire of Exeter Cathedral to learn about and celebrate Pentecost. (Pentecost actually falls on the 20th May, so our celebrations were early, but very enjoyable!). The children had an opportunity to sing some of the worship songs they had been […]

Headmaster’s Blog
Did you enjoy the summer? The two super-hot days we enjoyed last week seem to have been it, and it has been back to the predictably-unpredictable weather this week. Choosing when to call shirt-sleeve order is a famously-mysterious dark art, and I suspect it’s a little way off at the moment, given the rained-off fixtures […]
Cathedral Choir Tour 2018
I suspect that there are few experiences more exhilarating for a cathedral chorister than creating a CD, singing live on a BBC Radio 3 Broadcast, singing for the installation of a New Dean and Precentor, singing the farewell service to a person who is soon to become the first ever female Bishop of London (the […]
