Scholarships and Bursaries
Our daughter has settled so well thanks to the friendly and welcoming ambiance….. as a scholar she is thoroughly enjoying the information talks and benefits of mixing with the older scholars for support and inspiration.

Bursary Assistance
The governors of Mayfield School are committed to broadening access to our girls boarding school by offering eligible parents or guardians means-tested financial support with the payment of school fees. Mayfield’s bursary programme is designed to enable talented pupils to benefit from a Mayfield education, where financial considerations would otherwise have not made this possible. To ensure the speedy and rigorous processing of bursary applications, the School uses a third party, Bursary Administration Limited, to analyse the financial position of families applying for a bursary.
If you wish to pursue a bursary application, the School will pass your names and contact details to Bursary Administration Limited. They will send out application forms to complete and return, contact you to arrange to visit you in your home(s) to discuss your application and then complete a report for the School. Please note: both parents must sign the Examination Entry Form to give permission for their details to be shared with Bursary Administration Limited.
The Governors of the School will decide whether to award a bursary and the level of award, not Bursary Administration Limited, which is engaged by the School simply to establish your financial position. Their report will be considered by Governors, together with other applications, and you will be notified of the Governors’ decision in any offer letter sent by the School following the Entrance Assessments.
