“High aspirations are always encouraged, never hindered, so I feel like you really do reach your full potential at this Sixth Form.”
“THINK BIG, DREAM BIG, BELIEVE BIG... ...AND THE RESULTS WILL BE BIG”
Our students always say that the culture here is so different from elsewhere –our girls are uninhibited, self-confident, focused, the best of friends and (most importantly) the biggest supporters of one another! Most powerfully, they also consider themselves ‘safe’ in an environment where putting happiness first reaps finite rewards.
For years, The Maynard has topped the A-level Performance League Tables as the highest achieving independent school in Devon. It is this reputation that draws so many ambitious young students to join us on an unforgettably fun and successful journey to achieve their chosen dreams.
As the oldest girls’ school in the country, we have been specialising in singlesex education for nearly four centuries and pride ourselves on being experts in educating girls. The friendly and supportive environment, the awardwinning wellbeing, the vast extracurricular opportunities and, of course, our academic success is all built from the bedrock of being 100% made for girls.
Our belief that happy girls are successful girls is an ethos so wholly epitomised by our incredible results, built over hundreds of years as the leading girls’

school in the South West. It is this reputation that not only draws some of the most gifted students, but guarantees us the most talented and professional teaching staff who place academic success on an equal equilibrium with a love of learning.
Although we pride ourselves on being a smaller school, with no desire to outsize our ability to celebrate the individual, we boast an impressive record of hugely successful alumnae; from BAFTA-winning journalists, pioneering scientists, airline pilots, lawyers, politicians, army captains, sports superstars, Booker Prize authors … the list is endless.
The common denominator? At The Maynard we all share one belief - that ‘the future belongs to those who believe in their dreams’. And we are steadfast in supporting our students to live their ambitions.
TRUE FACT
Here at The Maynard, we are proven to be able to improve your A-level predictions by as much as one whole grade. And that’s what allows the Department for Education to officially deem us as ‘above average’ for value added.
