Mayfield is a leading Catholic independent boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18, set in the beautiful Sussex countryside.
At Mayfield, we accept each girl for who she is and encourage her to have the confidence to find her strengths and build on them. She will have the time, space and emotional support she needs to flourish. Here she will be expected to think independently. We want Mayfield girls to become women of faith and reason. Her creativity will be nurtured in every subject she studies. Her imagination will be stimulated and she will be inspired by enthusiastic teachers to a love of learning.
A Mayfield girl is challenged to set demanding targets and helped to find strategies to achieve them. She learns to challenge her own and other people’s ideas and is expected to make her own, informed decisions. Her actions should be inspired by a sense of justice and integrity, sustained by her own faith and respectful of others. In sum, she is able to grow to be herself.
Mayfield is a vibrant community. Traditionally we have attracted girls from around the world, as well as locally. Such a cosmopolitan ethos helps the girls to understand and appreciate different cultures and perspectives and to value diversity. Friendships are forged here which sustain and support not only through school, but on into the future and we are proud to welcome successive generations of girls back to Mayfield.
