Actions Not Words

As Part of our whole School Actions Not Words programme we have year 12 students supporting within the classroom environment, listening to readers and assisting the class teacher during a variety of lessons at local schools.

We continue to offer our sporting facilities and support for the schools extra-curricular sports programme including the gym for basketball, indoor athletics and outdoor Hockey and Netball clubs. 

Mayfield School also lends equipment to a local Primary School, who borrowed 14 blue display boards to enable them to hold an Art exhibition.

Mayfield School supported their local Primary School by providing car parking for their big fund-raising event, the Summer Circus. This was a very well attended occasion and the car park was full of cars belonging to friends, families and supporters of the school, which otherwise would have caused congestion and danger in our small village.
