Since its foundation over 150 years ago, Mayfield has become one of Britain’s leading Catholic girls’ schools. Set in beautiful Sussex countryside and yet within an hour of London, Mayfield is a home for nearly 360 boarders and day girls aged between 11 and 18. Providing each pupil with an academic experience designed to challenge and enrich her, leading not only to excellent results and top universities, but a sense of perspective. Academic excellence is only part of the Mayfield story. Success is achieved by giving girls the confidence to be the best they can be, inside and outside the classroom.

Creative talents developed in art and ceramics, dance, music, textiles, film, photography and drama are equally important as Maths and Science. All this is underpinned by exemplary pastoral care. Each girl is challenged and supported to fulfil her potential – by staff and her peers. Visitors frequently remark on the School’s warm, inclusive atmosphere and feeling of mutual respect and affection. Mayfield is about friends and values as well as A*s.
