Memories of St Luke's

A number of our graduates will have attended St. Luke’s College in the days before integration with the University. We welcome any news or stories they may have to share with their former colleagues.

Some of our alumni have shared their memories below. Submit yours to alumni@exeter.ac.uk.

You can also join alumnus Simon Whitehead's Facebook Group.

Ron Delve (1961-1964)

I was at St Luke’s Church of England Teacher Training College in Exeter as a student from 1961 to 1964. I took Physical Education as my main and English as my subsidiary subjects, with compulsory English, Mathematics and Religious Education for all students.

Keith Mollard (1958-59)

In September 1956 a large group of young men arrived at the St. Lukes’ campus to begin their two year teacher training programme. Most of them were in their early twenties and well used to being away from home, having just completed two years in uniform on National Service duty.

Carol Walters (1984-88)

I began my four year junior middle course in 1984 studying Mathematics and PE with the legendary Mr Dave Edgecombe, Mr Brian Bolt and Mr David Hobbs. We had such small groups it was like a close knit family and we were nurtured well by our lecturers.
