Sixth Form
A launchpad for life
Sixth Form at Mayfield is more than just a stepping stone to university. It’s a place where girls discover who they truly are, what they believe in, and what they’re capable of achieving.
Whether your daughter is joining us from another school or continuing her Mayfield journey, our Sixth Form is where ambitions take shape and individuality shines.
The Mayfield difference
Freedom to flourish
With tailored academic pathways and flexible subject choices, girls craft a curriculum that suits their passions and aspirations.

Unrivalled personal support
From UCAS and Oxbridge guidance to one-to-one mentoring and wellbeing support, we help every girl navigate her future with confidence.
Expert careers guidance
Personalised advice, work shadowing opportunities, and specialist support for competitive universities ensure every girl steps confidently into her chosen future.

Leadership and life beyond lessons
With opportunities to run societies, plan events, volunteer, travel, debate, and compete, learning here stretches far beyond the classroom.
A diverse and vibrant culture
With over 80 clubs, societies and activities – including nationally recognised programmes in debating, ceramics, STEM, and equestrian sport – every girl finds her niche.
From volunteering and creative writing to elite-level dance, music and athletics, Sixth Form girls are encouraged to lead, explore and give back.
Academic excellence, on your terms
From the arts to the sciences, and from humanities to modern languages, our Sixth Form offers a breadth and depth of study. Girls can choose from a wide range of A-levels and enriching electives, such as the Sports Leadership Award, Certificate in Culinary Skills, Farming and Land Management, or take on an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).
Small class sizes and exceptional teaching mean your daughter will be known, supported and stretched – not lost in the crowd.
Life in Sixth Form
With dedicated spaces and unique privileges, girls enjoy more independence and responsibility, preparing them for university life and beyond.
Our senior boarders benefit from separate accommodation that balances privacy and community. The perfect blend of home comforts and school spirit.
