The Maynard School

The Maynard School encompasses multiple buildings with both traditional architecture and updated facilities, providing education for students aged 4 through 18 in central Exeter.

Established in 1658 through funding from Elize Hele's charity and Sir John Maynard, the institution began as the Blue Maid's Hospital before becoming The Maynard School in 1912.

The school maintains its motto 'Manus Justa Nardus' and fosters educational excellence through academic programs, sports competitions, language clubs, and international educational trips.

The Maynard School's facilities include indoor sports complexes, modern libraries, a sixth-form center, and specialized areas for performing arts and physical education.

During World War II, the school received direct hits from three bombs in May 1942, resulting in substantial damage to the main building and tennis courts.
