I have two children at Blundells and the teaching is absolutely outstanding. The facilities and what not are ace, but its the teaching that makes this school first-class. 👌🏻

My daughter is a full boarder at the school since three years now. She loves the classes and how motivating and interested the teachers are. Everyone is extremely laid back and loving athletics (the majority at least!). Being an overseas student she needs support going to the airport regularly which is so well supported. Also the weekendactivities for the full boarders are really good. Strongly recommended!

Great summary. 
Although the school is old and traditional (e.g. daily chapel, CCF, masters wearing gowns, etc.), it&#8217;s not as austere or fusty as you might imagine. 
I always loved how easily you could be friends with people in different houses and engage in multiple activities (e.g. CCF trips to Cornwall, Rosslyn Park 7s and School Orchestra events) without clashing and having to trade one against another. 
I don&#8217;t miss the 15min walk from the Biology block back to Milestones House (now part of the Prep school). 
Ideal for those who love sport (especially outdoors) and music but there&#8217;s something for everyone &#8211; Favourite memories of mine were on Big Field, Gornhay and Athletics, and in Big School, Ondaajte Hall and Vaughan Williams.

I was a pupil at Blundells in the 1950s, and your article was brilliant. It was very good to see how the school has kept up. I was very happy there and have several friends from then although we do not live near to Devon.
Thank you.
