 A national reputation for excellence, a passion for learning, compassion for others
The Maynard School has been an important part of Exeter’s educational landscape since 1658, and is celebrating 350 years of experience and expertise in educating girls. Although the school is proud of its historic tradition, it has always been resolutely forward-looking and has long been recognised as one of the country's leading day schools. Our high-calibre staff work to ensure that all our girls realise their full potential, developing into confident, articulate young women, well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities modern life brings. As a selective school we have high academic standards and an enviable record in public examinations and university entrance, but there is more to education than simply academic success. Our school is a warmly supportive community where the girls have the confidence to be friendly and relaxed and, at the same time, show the determination to give of their best and embrace challenges in their academic programme and in a whole range of other activities. At the Maynard we encourage every girl to make the most of her time and her talents, developing her awareness both as an individual and as a member of the school community. Girls join the Maynard from age 7 upwards and come to us from a wide range of schools, from both the independent and maintained sectors. Two of the school’s major strengths are spotting potential in candidates for entry and bringing out the best in every pupil whatever her educational background. Approximately one-third of our pupils come from the Exeter area, with the remaining girls taking advantage of the excellent school transport links to Exeter, travelling from across Devon and from parts of Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset. With approximately 100 girls in the Junior Department and 380 in the Senior School and Sixth Form, the Maynard remains a small and friendly school.
