A co-educational day school for children from 2+ - 11+ set in a listed building with beautiful grounds and playing fields.
The two new self contained Nursery units accept children as rising 3's and are learning environments. Pupils should be registered at birth as there is a waiting list at all levels. A fully qualified staff ensures that the individual child receives maximum attention.
The main aim at Mayfield is to encourage intellectual excellence. Children experience a thorough grounding in skills. Through stimulating courses of correctly paced work, the school specialises in the preparation for Grammar and Independent School Entrance examination at 11+. Our children achieve excellent results, but it is always borne in mind that the individual child's needs are met by matching achievement to potential. Diagnostic help is available, should the need arise.
All children are expected and encouraged to develop daily in confidence and ability. We believe in a balanced curriculum, and at Mayfield practical and non-academic activities provide additional interest. In Sports, mini rugby skills are developed for boys from 7+ and games played at Queen Mary's Grammar School (adjacent to Mayfield). The girls play netball, rounders and learn hockey skills. Swimming is also available. In Music, the Choir and Music Groups add to the school activities and participate in outside events. Drama, Dance and Art encourage enthusiasm for creativity, LAMDA and ESB exams are taken. A Resources Room allows for practical science. DT sessions and computer experience are provided by specialist teachers. Good manners are expected at all times, as well as a happy and whole-hearted participation in the life of Mayfield.
