The Maynard School

Facilities

By our very location in the heart of Exeter, we are fortunate to have access to some of the best facilities in the South West.

In addition to our own impressive Sports Hall, Performing Arts Centre, Drama Studio, an array of music rooms, art studios including a kiln and printing press, a bespoke Health & Fitness suite and the netball/hockey/tennis courts, we also have extensive use of state-of-the-art hockey pitches, a choice of swimming pools, the Exeter Arena (the athletics training ground of Olympic runner, Jo Pavey) as well as access to superb watersports facilities on Exeter Quay and numerous performing arts venues scattered across the city.

The joy of being able to hire these facilities, and all only a stone’s throw away, is that they are of the most professional standard possible and provide huge variety for our students to sample different sports and activities in the hope that they find something they love.

Scholarships

Fees assistance at The Maynard School takes two forms: Means-tested Bursaries, based on parental income, and Awards or Scholarships which are awarded to girls who are academically exceptional, have particular talents in Music, Sport, Art or Performing Arts, or are all-rounders who contribute significantly to school life.

Entrance Requirements

To ensure that our school will suit your daughter, our application process from Year 3 upwards involves a written assessment. We understand that, for some girls, this may be their first experience of a formal assessment so we make the session as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. Our experienced staff look for potential as well as current ability, and we advise that any extra coaching for the assessments is not necessary. Entrance Assessments can be arranged all year round although we do have set dates every January in the year of entry.

Sixth Form admission is by interview, current school report and reference. Students will need at least  six grade 7 GCSEs, a minimum of a grade 7 in both Maths and English GCSE and a grade 7 or 8 in the subjects to be taken at A-level.
