The Maynard is a special place and, whilst every school website promises great education and potential achievement, what sets us apart is our atmosphere of courage, bravery and undiluted ambition.
Our school’s ethos is one of genuine collaboration, respect, and belief in every student’s potential. It is a place where young women listen to and support one another, where they are empowered to succeed, and where teachers see and value them for who they truly are. With this foundation, our students develop the confidence to explore their talents, embrace challenges, and pursue self-discovery. They love learning, and even during the last period on a Friday afternoon, there’s an excited vibe in the classroom as they engage with teachers who genuinely believe in the power of girls’ education.
Everything we do in school is underpinned by our four Maynard Values:
Kindness
The Maynard community embraces the importance of a compassionate approach, being kind to all.
Courage
Maynardians push into challenges and say yes to new opportunities; we will continue to possess the courage to question the status quo, with the high expectation that the world can be better.
Community
We believe community includes both our Maynard family and our external community – in Exeter and the wider world.
Integrity
Integrity is about us staying true to who we are – we are #MadeforGirls. We are proud of being a girls’ school and all that means for the educational journey of the girls.
The Maynard encouraged and motivated me in the classroom to bring my best
Tina Soh, Old Maynardian
and most authentic self to every interaction. My years were filled with supportive
friends and teachers, and the environment and atmosphere meant that I felt
confident in pursuing my interests.
