Mayfield is set in the beautiful, yet easily accessible Sussex countryside. It has an enviable academic record, exceptional pastoral care and extensive extra-curricular activities. Mayfield girls learn how to combine rigorous academic study together with a diverse range of activities beyond the classroom.
From fashion design to forensic science, drama to horticulture, Mayfield girls are encouraged to extend themselves outside the classroom as much as inside. Some pursuits stand particularly proud: the School team has won the National Schools Equestrian Association Championship a staggering 9 times over the last 15 years; and Mayfield has a reputation as the UK's leading secondary school for ceramics, having won several national awards We challenge our girls to realise their full potential, providing them with a lifelong love of learning in order that they leave mature, educated and independent young women, confident in their beliefs and prepared to make a positive difference in the world.
Described by the ISI as "outstanding" and by Country Life as "one of the finest schools in the land", a Mayfield education combines academic rigour, breadth of opportunity and a strong sense of community.
We will give her the time, space and emotional she needs to flourish. We will expect her to think independently and our enthusiastic teachers will inspire in her a lifelong love of learning. We will stimulate her imagination and nurture her creativity in every subject she studies.
Mayfield is a vibrant community. Traditionally, we have attracted pupils from all round the world, as well as locally. We are able to offer a very supportive boarding structure, which ensures us to what's best for each family, from day to full boarding, with easy access to London and surround airports.
