The Exeter School Junior Choir, Middle School Choir and Senior Choir joined together with friends of Exeter School for a wonderful Choral Society concert in Exeter Cathedral on Thursday 17 March. The concert began with Paul Patterson’s Magnificat, conducted by Director of Music Mr Tamblyn. This was a challenging and exciting piece for the choir to learn; everybody enjoyed perfecting the rhythmic and harmonic complexities, and thrilled by the eight-piece brass band and two percussionists, who added real drive and verve to the music. We were honoured to have Mr Patterson, an internationally...

A record-breaker last week, a headline-maker this week – it’s all in a day’s work for Exeter Chiefs star Gareth Steenson.

Having broke the game’s deadlock with an early kick, Steenson then slotted four second half penalties to go alongside Olly Woodburn’s fourth try of the season.
Northampton, who won the corresponding fixture 8-3 back on...
