House life is rooted in the values of the School - care and respect for one another, charity and forgiveness. The heart of each House lies in the joy and delight the girls derive from each other’s company. Friendships are formed here which last long after our girls have left Mayfield. The fullness of the boarding experience fosters their development into caring, communicative and engaged young women who, at every turn, enrich the world they enter.

Mayfield is a school built on the principles of trust, respect and love for each member of the community.
We nurture and celebrate each individual, but also engender in our girls an awareness and appreciation of the needs and gifts of others. Good interaction between staff and pupils results from supportive relationships, and we are justly proud of our pastoral care.

COVID-19 Update

Following the Government announcement on Wednesday 18th March, Mayfield School moved to an online educational environment for all pupils on Monday 22nd March. The School was well-prepared for this eventuality and we have established a remote learning platform so that all our pupils can continue their lessons. This enables the girls to follow their usual School timetable, and maintain face-to-face contact with their subject teachers, tutors and peers.

We continue to follow government and Public Health England advice and will communicate with families as we receive updates.

We thank everyone for their support and understanding.
