About Mayfield
Charting your daughter’s unique adventure
We believe education is an adventure for the mind, heart and soul. Rooted in Catholic and timeless human values, we create an environment where girls discover their authentic selves and develop the courage to embrace life’s possibilities.
The Mayfield difference
A place where girls truly flourish
What sets Mayfield apart is our culture of embracing diverse talents, interests, and personalities. We’re unwaveringly committed to encouraging each girl to discover and fulfil her potential.
Small class sizes mean that every voice is heard and each student receives individual attention, allowing your daughter to achieve her best results. Our expert teachers and dedicated pastoral team ensure every girl feels seen and supported on her journey of self-discovery.
The all-girls advantage
An all-girls education gives your daughter the freedom to be herself, uninhibited by gender stereotypes. In our supportive environment, girls naturally step forward – leading student government, excelling on the sports field, pursuing STEM subjects with confidence, and exploring interests without constraints.
Research shows that girls in single-sex settings are more likely to take intellectual risks, choose subjects like physics and engineering, and develop stronger leadership skills. At Mayfield, we see this evidence come alive every day.
Our girls develop the confidence to speak up, take risks and follow their ambitions. Curiosity is celebrated, intellectual challenge is embraced, and no goal feels out of reach.
Our approach to education
Education, your way
Who says you can’t study physics with art or economics with drama? At Mayfield, our flexible curriculum allows girls to combine almost any subjects, empowering them to follow their passions and shape an education that’s truly their own.
Learning extends far beyond textbooks and exams – from fieldwork in our beautiful grounds to hands-on experiments and international competitions, education here is always an adventure.
Beyond the classroom
The final bell doesn’t signal the end of learning – it’s the beginning of a new set of ventures. With more than 80 clubs and activities, there’s something for everyone to explore.
Our signature programmes include:
- STEM innovation: From coding clubs to robotics competitions, we nurture the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.
- Champion debate: Our renowned debate team allows girls to hone their critical thinking skills on national and international stages.
- Global perspectives: Students’ horizons broaden through Model United Nations, international exchanges and cultural celebrations.
- Centre stage: From musical theatre productions to dance showcases, our students shine in the performing arts, growing in confidence and teamwork skills.
- Equestrian excellence: Our outstanding equestrian facilities support riders competing at all levels.
- Exceptional ceramics: Mayfield’s ceramics programme is renowned nationwide, with students regularly winning top awards.
- Future leaders: Through the Prefect system, the Duke of Edinburgh Award and charitable projects, girls learn to lead, take initiative and work together.

Our Catholic ethos
Timeless values for a modern world
Our Catholic ethos instils values that stay with girls for life. Kindness, integrity, gratitude, and courage are woven into the fabric of daily life at Mayfield.
Whatever your daughter’s religious background, she’ll be encouraged to think deeply about her place in the world. Our motto, ‘Actions Not Words’, encapsulates everything we stand for – our belief in living out values and making a real difference.
