The Maynard School Testimonials

Its the complete package, not only concentrating on the very best on offer by way of academia and physical education, but ensuring that learning for every child is a memorable and positive experience, wherever their skills or talents lie.

My two children are like chalk and cheese, yet the school manages to cater to their individual needs and often its difficult to stop them talking about all the good things they are doing at school (and outside of it on extra curricula activities) - even during holidays.

The proof of the pudding is that they look forwards to their lessons and good friends as the school has made them and us (their parents) feel a welcome and valued part of their establishment.

The Maynard School in Exeter is an independent girls' school for girls between the ages of 7 and 18. It is a first rate school, consistently near the top of the league tables. It's motto is Imagine Aspire Achieve, and indeed they do. Although this is an academic school, it also offers an array of extra-curricular activities for the girls, and the girls are encouraged to get involved in charity work, particularly within the local community. My daughter has been at the school since September 2011, and she has enjoyed every single day. Her teachers are warm and encouraging, her lessons fun and imaginative. I feel extremely lucky to have such a great school on my doorstep and would highly recommend it to others.

Both my daughters who have always been outgoing and confident now attend The Maynard, and it is amazing to see how much they look forward to school each day. They have great friends, great teachers, and mostly love the lunches. Any queries I have ever had have been listened to and addresed giving me the utmost confidence that my girls are receiving the best start in life. Though it has to be said they are not being pampered or mollycoddled in anyway but encouraged to develop and discover their own way through problems.
Very happy to leave them there each day and look forward to picking them up and hearing their excited reports of the days activities.

Our daughter joined the senior school in September 2011 after we relocated in the summer. We were amazed by how quickly she settled in. The Maynard school is a very happy school, which expects and achieves the best.

I enjoyed the Maynard life very much over the last two years. I felt very lucky to have such a brilliant opportunity to work with the most lovely people that I’ve ever met. The Maynard School made me realise that study is a pleasant responsibility.

We would like to express our thanks to everyone at the Maynard for giving our daughter a wonderful education over the last seven years. It is difficult to imagine that she could have enjoyed her school years more and we are indebted to all the teachers who have made that the case. We have been consistently impressed by the high standard of teaching, which has not only enabled her to achieve academic success but also encouraged her to have a real interest in her subjects above and beyond what was needed for the passing of exams.

The Sixth Form has been a particular highlight and has provided a remarkable balance of learning and fun. Our daughter has especially enjoyed these two years and we feel that they have equipped her well for university life.

We would like to thank the staff for making the Maynard such a special place and these last seven years such happy ones for our daughter.

This is a happy school in which pupils are encouraged to become successful and confident independent young women.
