Parents in Exeter rally against the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Defending alternative education and parental rights

Parents rally against the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill: Defending alternative education and parental rights #ChildrensWellbeingBill Parents are set to gather on 8th March 2025 in Bedford Street, Exeter (and major cities across England, including London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham). This coordinated rally aims to protest the proposed bill. This deeply concerning piece of legislation threatens educational freedoms and prioritises data collection over children's actual well-being.

The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill (CWSB) is being presented as a...

Blog: Student Life #10

One place arguably essential to student life, wherever you’re at university, is a good pub. I’m not a heavy drinker, I’m probably the lightest drinker possible to still be classes as a “drinker” so I don’t mean students need a good pub to get drunk, just to have a relaxed environment for socialising with friends.

The Victoria Inn, aka The Vic, can be found on Victoria Street; that’s not too hard to remember. With reasonably priced food and drinks, a friendly atmosphere and a location close to most student housing, it’s the ideal pub for students. The Ram on campus is okay but if...

Student Life #9

You arrive at the University of Exeter and there’s one trip everyone wants to make as soon as possible – a day out in Exmouth. However, trust me when I say that there’s a better beach to visit.

Yes, okay, one of the main reasons I chose Exeter was so I would be in closer proximity to the sea. I’d lived eighteen long years of my life in landlocked Birmingham and had been teased by family holidays and my time spent in Bangor, Northern Ireland, to live closer to the waves. They’re just so peaceful and pretty and… You get the idea.

Whether your find the sea as magical as I do,...

Student Life #8

In a recent article by Razz Magazine, the University of Exeter’s Arts, Culture and Lifestyle mag, Devon Coffee was crowned the favourite coffee shop in Exeter and so, obviously, I had to go and see what all the fuss was about.

On first impression the café looks very narrow, almost claustrophobic. However, once I’d ordered a coffee and taken a seat I realised I’d mistaken claustrophobia for a charming setting. It’s unlike any other coffee place – it’s a warm, cosy, gently lit space in comparison to the bright commercial chains most of us fall into the habit of visiting.
