Liz Gregory, Head of The Maynard, expressed her joy: “These girls have worked incredibly hard and thoroughly deserve their impressive results as such a remarkable cohort. I am thrilled that they are now fully equipped to start exciting new chapters in their lives and I could not be prouder – a very well done to them all!”
Joining the Sixth Form definitely helped me to achieve
results far beyond what I initially thought I was capable of
and I can wholeheartedly say that, without the teachers at
The Maynard, I most likely would not be studying at my
dream university right now.
