She left school at 14, before taking her final secondary school examinations (which she had been predicted to gain high grades), partly due to personal difficulties she experienced going back to her regular school whilst starring in a popular television series and also because of the successful commencement of her acting career. For a couple of years she was taught at home.
Williams went to Clutton Primary School and Norton Hill School in Midsomer Norton, before transferring to Bath Dance College to study Performing Arts, where she trained in musical theatre, ballet, pointe, tap, street, freestyle, gymnastics and trampolining, with the ambition of becoming a professional dancer.
įrom an early age, from when "she was tiny", Williams has always been known as "Maisie", nicknamed because of her perceived likeness to the cartoon character from the UK newspaper comic strip The Perishers. The youngest of four siblings, Williams was raised by her mother and stepfather in a three-bedroom council house in the village of Clutton, Somerset. Williams' parents separated when she was four months old. Margaret Constance Williams was born in Bristol on 15 April 1997 to Hilary Pitt (now Hilary Frances), a university course administrator who later gave up her job to support her daughter's acting career.
