School’s Perspective
Q:Who are you as a school?
A:

As the first and only school in Devon to have achieved the Wellbeing Award for Schools (in 2019) and then to have this re-certified in 2023, we pride ourselves on our proven and exceptional pastoral provision. Caring for the physical, mental and emotional health of our community is absolutely central to everything that we do. We understand that parents want a school where their daughters will reach their full academic potential, but also know that what is even more important is that you find a school where your daughters will flourish and develop into confident, happy young women ready to face the world.

Q:What do you do differently and uniquely well?
A:

We are regularly asked what the benefits of a single-sex education are and the obvious answer is the long standing and proven statistics of girls obtaining higher grades away from other social pressures. We are proud to be a member of the Girls’ School Association (GSA) and we empower our students by teaching them the way they naturally learn.


Let’s look at the statistics. Girls at GSA schools are more likely to study ‘difficult’ subjects such as Sciences, Maths and Languages. They are*:

  • 2.5 times as likely to take Further Maths and Physics at A-level
  • 40% more likely to take up Biology
  • 77% more likely to take up Chemistry
  • 72% more likely to take up Computer Science
  • Twice as likely as other girls to take French or Spanish at A-level.

Q:Why do families choose you over schools they compare you to?
A:

Housed in its own building within the main school campus, the Junior School and

Pre-Prep are very much part of the Maynard family. Educating the whole child is our passion and, with a busy school day, we want our children to learn to ‘be children’ too.

We don’t want to produce little robots chanting times tables! Instead we provide a happy, secure and lively environment where each young girl will flourish, and foster individuality, confidence and enthusiasm.


Key factors to choose:

- SMALL CLASS SIZES

- SAFE, SECURE SETTING

- BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS

- A VARIED CURRICULUM

- SPECIALIST TEACHING AND ACILITIES

- TRANSITION TO SENIOR SCHOOL

- OUTDOOR LEARNING & FOREST SCHOOL

The Maynard School Reviews
3.6 (5 reviews)
As a parent i would say this school is really good, the teachers are very supportive and understanding in the need of a student. There are lots of extra curricular activities done as well to support the overall growth of a child. I would certainly recommend this school and give a thumbs up for it.
My child is very unhappy. A lot of teachers keep leaving. Few have emotional outbursts in front of the students. I am considering taking my child out of this school but he is in year 10 and does want to change due to the subject options.
Its alright js yeah the food is decent but i admit ive gone smarter then i was before - Mika Norman Year 9 2024
My child is thriving at this school. She has enjoyed the variety of extra curriculum activities and is excelling in a sport she has not been able to try before. Teachers make learning fun and interactive and the new headteacher is passionate and has a positive and clear vision for the school. Pupils are respectful and well thought off throughout the community. For us it was thankfully a good choice for our child.
I can't recommend this school enough. My son has gone here from reception. The staff are amazing and caring, whilst maintaining core values and discipline. You can always tell the Edmund Campion children apart from other schools. He likes all his teachers and staff and is genuinely excited when he runs into them outside of school as well. I also like the no nonsense approach to poor behavior -I don't think the school is for...
