We believe that students have an absolute right to achievement and excitement in their education, and also that it is a fundamental part of a school’s role to give students and families a real voice in their school.  We listen carefully to what students have to say and we are always looking for ways in which we can involve families more in their children’s school experience. We look to develop confident young people who are well equipped to take their place in the world and who are excited by the prospects of the future.  We are good and improving school and a school where you can be confident that your child will be supported, encouraged and given every opportunity to make the very best of themselves.

Mayfield is a forward-looking, dynamic school which has undergone an expansion programme with exciting new facilities, which opened during the last academic year. Mayfield is totally committed to achieving outstanding progress and attainment for all our students. 

I am extremely privileged to be the Headteacher of Mayfield School. Mayfield is a truly inclusive school where, despite its large size, every single student is genuinely valued and seen as an important member of our diverse community. I am proud to say that our diversity is one of our strengths and is actively celebrated. Indeed, I can confidently describe our community as a family.

At Mayfield School, we support and challenge one another to be the best we can be. This will look differently to each one of us in our community, which is why we work tirelessly with every single student so they can benefit fully from the opportunities we have on offer. As part of their learning journey here we have an exciting curriculum with a broad range of subjects and qualifications alongside opportunities through enrichment, trips, visits and experiences which equip students with the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to succeed.

Our expectations of one another are high. Our core values of courage, integrity and contribution underpin our every word and action. At the same time, we strive to be passionate, independent, curious and open-minded learners. This is because we know these attributes help us make the most of our time together and enable students to become happy, confident, well-rounded individuals who can contribute actively and positively to the community and wider society.

I would love to show you our wonderful school in person. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you would like to find out more about Mayfield School and see us in action as we make every minute count. In the meantime, I hope you find our website useful and that it reflects Mayfield School as I have described.

I very much look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon.

Mr Remo Iafrate,

Headteacher
