To make sure this event is a success we need 10-15 volunteers for each session. Please sign up to help out, we can't run these events without you!

School Disco FAQs - please read!
Where is the disco and how do we get in?
The disco will be held in the Large Hall, with the tuck shop, bar and second hand clothes sale situated in the Small Hall. Please use the main school office door to enter the disco. We will tick you off on entry.
Will I be able to buy a ticket on the door?
It will be much quicker for us to get everyone in and dancing if you buy your ticket in advance. Tickets can be purchased now on ParentPay until 12noon on Thursday 6 February.
We will sell tickets on the door too, but it'll be quicker and easier for everyone if you can buy in advance through ParentPay.
Can siblings come along?
Yes! There will be a quiet colouring corner for any siblings who don't want to join in the disco, or want to save their energy for their own disco time slot. Each child will only need one ticket.
You do not need to buy a ticket for any pre-school siblings, but they are very welcome to come along and enjoy the fun.
Can I leave my child at the disco?
No, you must ensure your child arrives with a grown-up who will stay at the school for the duration of their disco. One adult could be the designated grown-up for several children - please organise this amongst yourselves.
**All children must be supervised and remain the responsibility of their designated grown-up. Please do not drop your child off**
Can we wait at school for our disco time slot?
The school grounds will remain open as usual until about 4.30pm. If your child is in Years 4, 5 or 6 you will need to return to school when their disco starts at 5.30pm.
Will there be a non-uniform day at school on the day of the disco?
No, school uniform must be worn at school as usual. There will be time to get changed before the party starts. Fancy dress (or just fancy clothes) welcome.
What will be stocked at the tuck shop?
Bags of crisps and sweets, fruit yoyos, squash and fizzy pop will all be available to buy. Water will be readily available and will be free. We will also have some glow accessories available to buy.
For the grown ups there will be a bar serving wine and beer.
We'll also have a second hand clothes stall for grown ups to browse whilst the kids dance. Come and grab yourself a bargain!
Can I pay by card at the event?
Yes, we will have card readers available across the disco. Please note that minimum payment on card is £2 so that we can cover our costs.
I'd like to help but I will also be supervising children - how will that work?
Firstly, thank you! We need volunteers to help in the Small Hall, checking people in to the disco and serving on the tuck shop or bar, but also volunteers in the Large Hall, making sure everyone is happy in there and ensuring no-one leaves through the fire exits. These are all activities you can do whilst you are waiting for your child's disco to finish :-)
Please sign up here: volunteersignup.org/JRH7R
We're all in the same boat - we're all parents with children at the event who want to help out, and we club together to make it work. If your child needs you, of course you should be with your child, one of the other helpers can pick up what you were helping on, but hopefully with enough volunteers the whole event will run smoothly for everyone.

TCS Mini london marathon
When: Saturday 26 April 2025
Where: London!
We're excited to announce that Mayfield Primary School is entering the ballot for places for the TCS Mini London Marathon!
Yes, your child could run over the actual finish line of the actual London Marathon in this amazing event that also raises money for the school!
What
There are two distances (1 mile and 2.6km), both starting at Horse Guard's Parade and finishing on The Mall (where all the London Marathon runners finish!).
This iconic run offers your child the chance to experience the wonderful atmosphere of a large run, with children taking part from all over the country.
On top of that, for every child who finishes their distance, TCS will donate £10 to Mayfield to be spent on sporting or IT equipment.
When
The TCS Mini London Marathon will be held on Saturday 26 April (the day before the full Marathon).
How can you get involved?
We can register up to 25 runners for the 1 mile distance and 15 runners for the 2.6km distance. We then go into a ballot for places and will find out in February if we are going to London!
The 1 mile distance is open to children in any year group at Mayfield, but the longer 2.6km run is for children in Year 4 and up.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED AND WE ARE AWAITING NEWS FROM THE TCS MINI LONDON MARATHON BALLOT PROCESS
More details about the event, including route maps, can be found on the TCS Mini Marathon website.
