STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths

Years 7-9
Invitation only
The Maths Team Challenge Club is an opportunity for pupils to experience challenging mathematics and develop their problem solving, teamwork and leadership skills. There is a possibility of participating in a UKMT national competition. Participation is by invitation only. 

Years 12 and 13
This is for those considering a career in any branch of medicine or healthcare to discuss what is involved in applying for medicine at university and helps with preparation for interview, whether panel or MMI. Pupils will be encouraged to research emerging technologies and areas of medicine they are interested in to present to the group. Guest speakers will also be invited to share their experiences of life in a medical field. 

Years 7-13
The aim of MESSy is to build on the successful initiatives it has introduced to Mayfield School life in recent years. Pupils will continue to research ways in which the School community can become more environmentally friendly and raise awareness throughout the School about ways of reducing both our individual and collective environmental impact. The group undertakes long-term projects so pupils are required to commit to meetings throughout the year. This group embodies ‘Action not Words’ and may be able to count towards this area for Sixth Form. 

Years 8-13
Unlock your potential at the programming and robotics club where the worlds of technology, innovation, and fun merge together! Discover how to design your own apps, build flashy projects, code great music, 3D design cool tools and bring them to life by 3D printing them. Dive into this exciting field alongside like-minded peers fostering a creative and empowering environment. No prior knowledge or skills required. Join us and turn your tech dreams into reality, because the future of tech is coming, and it starts with you! 

Year 9-11

STEM Club will enable you to investigate multiple aspects within the fields of Engineering, Physics and Computing. We start by following a procedure that allows you to build and program your own robot. Using the skills developed from that you are free to chose your own project that you wish to pursue taking advantage of our 3D printing, metal working and woodworking facilities. In the past projects have included building a model aeroplane, an automated medicine dispenser for people struggling with Alzheimer's, a functional cloud chamber to observe subatomic particles, and many more. Whether you have a specific goal in mind, or simply wish to investigate how things work (through disassembly and then hopefully reassembly) then STEM Club is for you!
