As part of the West Exe Offer, we also provide an exciting extra-curricular programme including, the jazz band, Model United Nations, Ten Tors, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, climbing and our School Productions. Over 100 students each year volunteer for our growing Student Leadership Team which includes Student Parliament, the Green Team, Anti-Bullying Ambassadors, Primary Mentors, Sports Leaders and many more roles within our community.
At West Exe, there is always an opportunity out there for every student.
All students at West Exe have the opportunity to learn a language, go to the theatre and to experience truly exceptional teaching. They will go on outdoor adventures and take part in a whole range of new sports.
More importantly in their classes and tutor groups they will make friends that will last them a lifetime.
