"Maypole is a brilliant school to work in. The staff are welcoming and work as a team. The students are all here for their own individual reasons which make every day a challenge, however the challenges are not always negative, they have unique personalities and are just in need of support and consistency."

"My Daughter has come so far at the school, I would not want to send her anywhere else. I do not have a bad word to say. I want her to stay at Maypole. She loves it here."

"Key to the school's success is the oversight of those in positions of governance ... who have a high degree of hands-on knowledge, while maintaining a clear strategic vision going forward. A small team of external independent advisors, known as governors, also provide support. With a mix of backgrounds, including in finance and educational psychology, their work in providing a fresh eye on day-to-day life at Maypole is important. ... Importantly, all the relevant independent school standards continue to be met since the school opened."
