Outstanding results

The Maynard is thrilled to celebrate a record-breaking set of GCSE results in 2026, with an exceptional 40% of all grades being awarded a Grade 9 – higher even than the teacher-assessed grades during the pandemic!

Furthermore, our 2026 A-level results completely smashed national averages and over half of all grades were A*/A.
