About

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.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
