Sixth lifesaving cup for Exeter School

Exeter School has been awarded the prestigious Royal Navy Cup by the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) Devon Branch for the sixth time in nine years.

This is the second year in succession that Exeter School has received the Cup. 

The Cup is awarded for the number of lifesaving awards which include demonstrating confident and skilful rescues in simulated incidents.

In the last years, ten Year 10 Exeter School pupils have gained their RLSS Survive and Save Silver Awards, and six Lower Sixth pupils and thirteen staff have achieved the National Rescue Award for swimming teachers and coaches (NRASTC).

The lifesaving courses were taught by teachers John Davidson and Stephanie Shrubb with support from CCF instructor Fred Smith.

John Davidson and Stephanie Shrubb said they were very impressed with how well the pupils assessed situations and their confidence in dealing with casualties both in the water and on land.
