What The Good Schools Guide says..
Spacious grounds mean children can build camps, climb trees (the favourite tree is called Radar) and play hide and seek and British Bulldog in their spare time. When we asked two boys whether they ever got bored, they looked puzzled. ‘Of course not,’ they told us. Pupils are courteous, well-behaved and good company. When benefactor Oliver Wyatt was once asked about the ideal Maidwell pupil, he described him/her as the sort of child who ‘was invited to someone’s house and invited back again.’ His view still holds true, with…
What the school says...
The school features full boarding with plenty of parent access. Two or three leave outs per term run from Friday at 12.30pm until Monday at 7.30pm.

Worked as city stockbroker for seven years before deciding he wanted to teach – ‘the best decision I ever made.’ After PGCE at Durham, he spent 13 years at Uppingham, 10 as a housemaster. Enthusiastic and focused, with firm, no-nonsense approach. School has thrived under his leadership and introduction of girls in 2010 – ‘a very exciting development,’ he says – has gone smoothly. Head says girl numbers won’t go above 50 at the very most. He’s adamant that Maidwell will remain a small, full boarding school but transitional boarding for two or three nights has recently been introduced as an option for local day children. Loves teaching and still manages to fit...
