Lady Taverners U15 Indoor Cricket County Champions!
At Blundell’s we educate young men and women of consequence; young people who have the skills and the confidence to make a meaningful contribution to society. It is our privilege to welcome pupils to our school and then to walk beside them as they negotiate their journey into adulthood.
We are immensely fortunate to be situated in an idyllic location. Here on our 100-acre campus in the Devon hills, our pupils are supported and inspired by teachers dedicated to their success and well-being.
Blundell’s has been around for over 400 years. While we are tremendously proud of our history, we are also excited about innovation as we engage with what it means to be relevant in a world that is undergoing such upheaval and change.
This is a place where children thrive, and where they become ready to contribute to a world desperately in need of thoughtful, courageous, and compassionate leaders. This is a place where they will learn about themselves, where they have the opportunity to practise and rehearse the skills that they will need to live fulfilling lives, both now and in the future.

Blundell’s is ideally situated, with Junction 27 of the M5 and Tiverton Parkway mainline railway station being just 6 minutes away.
The historic city of Exeter is half an hour away and the School is surrounded by the green and lush hills of Mid-Devon.
The pretty village of Croyde is widely regarded at the surfing capital of North Devon. Flanked by the impressive Putsborough, Saunton Sands and Woolacombe beaches, this area is fantastic for taking school trips affording Blundell’s pupils a chance to surf or just enjoy a great day out by the seaside.
Dartmoor’s 386 miles really does have something for everyone, from castle ruins, myths and legends to endless opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding and hiking. The moor is used extensively by the Blundell’s CCF contingent, Duke of Edinburgh participants and 10 Tors teams for hiking and camping.
Located on the south coast of Devon, the Exe Estuary boasts some fantastic features; it is an internationally renowned site for habitats and wildlife and has beautiful Blue Flag beaches. Blundellians regularly use various locations on the estuary for activities such as Sailing, Canoeing and Kayaking.
Starting at Exmouth, the Jurassic Coast is a hugely diverse and beautiful landscape underpinned by geological features of global importance. It remains England’s only natural UNESCO World Heritage site and offers a host of wonderful opportunities for field trips, particularly in Geography, Geology and Biology.
Within its 267 square mile boundary, Exmoor has a unique landscape of moorland, woodland, valleys and farmland, bordered on its northern edge by soaring cliffs and rugged coastline. It offers stunning and challenging conditions for the CCF and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions.
Blundell’s pupils really enjoy their day trips to Exeter, whether canoeing, climbing or Dragon Boat Racing at the Quay, or wandering the shops and eateries. The magnificent Cathedral is one of the foremost attractions of the city, and this is the venue for the Blundell’s biennial Carol Concert.
