Charity Work
Each year the school chooses a chosen charity as well as a fund raising target which they hope to achieve. During the year they raise money for the charity in a variety of events ranging from bake sales and fancy-dress days to fun runs and musical performances.

The College houses are named after former bishops of Exeter; Grandisson, Briwere, Curzon, Temple and Pelham.
