The West Exe leavers’ graduation evening on 27 November was a truly heart-warming celebration of everything that makes our school community special. Families, staff and students came together to honour the achievements, character and growth of a remarkable year group who have consistently embodied our core attributes of being kind, proud, resilient, ambitious, curious and adaptable.  

A number of standout moments filled the evening with pride. Jack was awarded the Greens Student Award, recognising not only his hard work but how his dedication inspires those around him. Tom received the prestigious Ivor Doble Cup for Academic Achievement, a testament to his outstanding dedication to learning. The title of Student of the Year was awarded to Stan, whose commitment, contribution and spirit have enriched the whole school community.

Reflecting on the cohort, Headteacher Ms Fossey said: “This year group has shown us what it truly means to live our values every day. They support one another, challenge themselves and rise to every opportunity with determination and integrity. We could not be more proud of the young people they have become.”

The evening was a fitting celebration of a year group who leave West Exe ready to thrive, live great lives and make the world a better place.
