Exeter School is a well-established independent educational charity operating a complete through-school model in Devon. The group provides continuous co-educational provision from nursery age through to the sixth form. While the senior and junior schools are located on the main 25-acre campus near the city centre, the group expanded its footprint in 2021 by acquiring a site in Exminster, which now operates as its dedicated pre-prep department. Known for high academic standards and extensive co-curricular programmes, the organisation manages its schools to serve the local community while maintaining modern learning environments and robust pastoral care.
