Academic Excellence
Academic Excellence
For over 150 years, Mayfield has provided intellectual challenge for each individual at each age and stage of her education, and fostered in her a love of learning. We educate girls to develop their known talents and discover their hidden ones.

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.

Pastoral and Spiritual
Pastoral and Spiritual
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.
