We are so proud of our anti-bullying ambassadors for being fundamental in achieving The Anti-Bullying Quality Mark - Silver award.

The ABQM-UK stated that staff, students, parents and governors demonstrated that anti-bullying has become embedded in life at the school.

Students and parent's/carer's are actively involved in the development of positive relationships in the school, supported by staff who tailor bullying prevention to individuals and their circumstances.

We are looking forward to welcoming Year 11 students and their parents to the Student Progress Meetings event on Thursday, 23rd February between 16.30 and 18.30. With final exams on the horizon, this is an essential opportunity to meet with tutors and members of the Senior Leadership Time to prepare for these crucial final few months at West Exe School. In addition to each 10-minute appointment, there will be a presentation on exams and study skills, plus the chance to meet with post-16 providers including Exeter College staff.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Last week we welcomed ten teachers and senior leaders from schools outside the trust. This open morning was hosted in response to many schools asking us to share our best practice and steps we took to achieve our excellent summer 2022 results. Our student tour guides did a cracking job in showcasing what we see as 'business as usual' but the visitors were blown away by. The open morning was part of our ongoing work across the South West and nationally to learning from each in order to raise the outcomes for children.

This year saw another successful group of Year 9's turn their green fivers into purple twenty pound notes. Taking over the tent and sport hall, the choices for sale were wisely picked season treats. We had a hot chocolate stand, warm brownies from the oven, sweet stalls, and crispy hash browns. Not forgetting a highly profitable penalty shoot out. The group gained skills in calculating break even, marketing and building on the all-important communication and organisation skills.

On Wednesday, 14 December 2022 the music department held their first Christmas Concert since 2019 and what a wonderful evening it was. The students performances were absolutely amazing, as was the performances by the Jazz Band.

We would like to say a massive well done to all  of our students who took part in the evening and a big thank you to our Music Ambassadors and student leadership who helped behind the scenes to ensure it ran smoothly.

Merry Christmas from the West Exe School Music department

Enjoy reading and reflecting on our awesome Autumn term.
