Pupils from St Peter’s Prep School, in Lympstone, are celebrating passing the entrance examination for Exeter School.

Some 13 youngsters sat the exam and all were offered places at the school. St Peter’s School said two pupils achieved the top two places of the Exeter School entrance exams, ahead of children from a range of other schools.

The head of St Peter’s Prep, Charlotte Johnston, said: “We are delighted that 100 per cent of our pupils who took the Exeter School entrance examination passed and, even more pleased that, between them, they have been offered the top two major academic awards, as well as two academic exhibitions.

“This success is testament to all of my colleagues’ hard work in helping our pupils achieve their potential, as well as, of course, all the effort and application put in by the children themselves.”

? St Peter’s School is having an open morning at 10 o’clock on Saturday, March 4, for parents and children who would like to look round the school at Harefield, Lympstone.
