Saturday’s fixture

Welcome to our opponents We would like to welcome our visitors from King’s College Taunton, Mount Kelly and Plymouth College to Exeter School for this weekend’s sports fixtures and look forward to some excellent matches in both rugby and hockey during an action-packed day.

We also wish our junior rugby and U15 hockey team the best of luck with their away matches at Mount Kelly and Taunton Prep. Thank you to our opponents for hosting.

For many of our pupils’ fixtures provide a real highlight during a busy school week. After such a long break from school sport they also offer an excellent opportunity to compete alongside teammates and friends and enjoy the camaraderie and teamwork that school sport offers.

We are also delighted to welcome parents and spectators from both schools and encourage them to actively support all the pupils, regardless of their team, with equal enthusiasm and respect. We politely ask them to support today’s referees and umpires; many of whom give up their time to enable these occasions to take place. I am sure that you will enjoy watching and I look forward to meeting many of you throughout the day.

We wish everyone involved in today’s fixtures the very best of luck and hope they enjoy their fixtures and visit to Exeter School.

Listed below are some of the possible signs of concussion: Headaches - It is only normal after a blow to the head to suffer a mild headache. There could be some bruising or mild swelling over the scalp which may be tender, but this doesn’t necessarily mean a player has concussion.

Follow us

If the headache seems to be getting worse this could be a cause for concern so seek medical attention. Drowsiness - Means they cannot be roused. It can be common for players to want to sleep for a short time (especially children), and it will be okay to let them do so. If there are further concerns you can wake them a few times during the night, especially if a knock on the head has happened just before bedtime.

If, on the other hand, they are difficult to wake or show signs of confusion, seek medical attention. Other Symptoms Confusion, unsteadiness, memory loss and convulsiveness. If players show any signs of the above, they should seek medical attention. These are merely guidelines so please remember signs and symptoms could take up to 48 hours to develop and should be monitored. Exeter School takes all head injuries seriously and all members of PE staff are first aid trained and follow the RFU Headcase protocol if a pupils sustains a head injury. In serious cases students would be referred to a local hospital (listed at the beginning of the programme) as they would with any other serious injury.
