Our school was founded in the 12th century to educate the Choristers of Exeter Cathedral, and now welcomes some 260 girls and boys between the ages of 2 and 13. In 2019 the School was awarded the best possible grading of ‘Excellent’ by the Independent School’s Inspectorate; in 2020 it received acclaim from Microsoft as an Industry Leader for remote learning; in 2021 the School was shortlisted as the Times Educational Supplement’s Prep School of the Year; and in 2022 we featured in the Best Boarding Schools Guide (Good Schools Guide). This is, then, a seriously exciting time to be joining our close-knit and hard-working community where people matter.

Exeter Cathedral School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all employees to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
