Schools in Exeter

The Norman towers of Exeter Cathedral and the remnants of Roman city walls give this South West cathedral city a layered built character unmatched in the wider county of Devon. Sitting on the River Exe, Exeter grew from a Roman legionary fortress established under Vespasian into a prosperous medieval wool city before the University of Exeter brought two campuses, at Streatham and St Luke's, to anchor a modern education economy. St David's is among the most sought-after neighbourhoods for families seeking school places near the centre, while Bradninch and Broadclyst form a school-competitive arc to the east of the city. Victoria Park and Heavitree extend the residential offer southward. Exeter St David's connects to Bristol Temple Meads in around an hour on the Great Western Main Line, and the city is home to around 124,000 residents.
