Saturday’s fixture

Welcome to our opponents

First Aid Information

We would like to welcome our visitors from Truro School and Blundell’s School to Exeter for this weekend’s sports fixtures and look forward to some excellent matches in both rugby and hockey during a busy day of sport. Today is the final match of the season for the 1st XV and for many of our Year 13 pupils will be their last rugby match for the school. Similarly, our senior hockey players concluded their season on Wednesday.

Many of the Year 13 pupils have shown tremendous commitment to both sports over many years and the end of their journey will come with mixed emotions. We would like to say a huge thank you for everything they have given to the school’s sports teams during their time at the school. We will also get to thank them in person in the coming weeks and award them for their efforts and hope the 1st XV enjoy their final match today.

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 the 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.

HEAD INJURY PROTOCOL Exeter School takes all head injuries seriously and members of PE staff and team coaches are first aid trained and follow the RFU headcase protocol if a pupil sustains a head injury. School match days are also covered by the staff from Neil Davey Physiotherapy who are available if there are concerns. In serious cases pupils would be referred to a local hospital (details left) as they would with any other serious injury.

Please remember signs and symptoms could take up to 48 hours to develop and should be monitored. Possible signs of concussion include headaches, drowsiness, confusion, unsteadiness, memory loss and convulsiveness. If you are unsure at any stage if a player has a head injury or is concussed, you should seek medical attention.
