International Students
A truly British education with a global perspective
Girls from around the world find not just a school, but a second home. We welcome international students who are eager to embrace a traditional British education in a warm, inclusive and adventurous environment.
Set in the beautiful English countryside, just an hour from Gatwick Airport, our historic campus offers the best of both worlds – tranquillity for focused study and easy access to London’s opportunities.
Regardless of the age group girls join us in, they leave Mayfield with strong academic results, lifelong friendships, and the character to thrive on the global stage.
Why Mayfield?
- British boarding experience in an extraordinary setting: Learn and live in a historic 75-acre campus, where medieval architecture meets modern facilities.
- Tailored support for international students: From English language development to visa guidance and guardianship support.
- Diverse and welcoming community: Students from 25+ countries meet through our House system, activities and pastoral care.
- Outstanding results and university preparation: Includes focused advice for top UK, US and global university pathways.
- Weekends to remember: Regular cultural trips, weekend activities and opportunities to explore British life and heritage.
Ready to take the next step?
We welcome applications from confident, curious and committed students from around the world who want to challenge themselves and shape their future.
Our main points of entry are 11+, 13+ or 16+. However we do have a small number of places for girls wishing to join us at 12+ and 14+.
Entry is based on:
- Recent school reports and academic references.
- An online interview with a senior member of staff.
- English language proficiency (support is available if needed).
- A copy of your daughter’s passport and visa status (if applicable).
We accept equivalent qualifications to GCSEs and will guide you through every step of the international admissions process.
Please contact Victoria Eastman, Director of International Admissions, at veastman@mayfieldgirls.org with any initial enquiries (please don’t register before speaking to us).
All mainland Chinese applications, whether direct or via an agent in China, will be handled by our Chinese representative in Beijing, Tang Ying, who will liaise with the family/agent. This does not affect the agreement in place with the agent.
所有来自中国大陆的申请，无论是直接申请还是通过中介机构申请，都将由我校在北京的中国代表唐颖TY女士负责处理。她将代表学校与家庭/中介联络，进行申请材料审核，考试面试安排及位置确认等一系列工作。这一安排并不影响与代理机构签订的协议。
What our students say
I love Mayfield in many ways, but what stood out most was how welcoming the staff, teachers, and students were.
