Thank you to everyone who came along to find out more about our new All Aboard campaign last week, and enjoyed pancakes and games at the same time too!

We're really excited about this campaign, which has seen staff, governors and PTA work together to develop an ambitious plan to reinvest in our school after years of budget cuts.

The campaign will see us raise £80,000 to enhance:

• outdoor learning and play

• tech provision across our classrooms

• how we celebrate our rich community through artworks around the school

We'd love to have you join the crew! Find out more about the campaign and how you can get involved here

There were some absolutely stunning bakes made for our recent Valentine's Day Bake Sale - thank you so much to the Year 2 families who made such beautiful creations! 

There was epic helping out too, with lots of fantastic Year 2 volunteers - your help makes such a difference to our events, thank you!

And thank you to everyone else who came along and bought the goodies on offer - your support helped us raise an amazing £235 for the Year 2 classrooms ♥️

Our next Bake Sale will be hosted by Year 1 and will be in March. Keep an eye on our Events page for dates.

The Reading Bus has been a real hero in our school's story, but its final chapter has arrived. 

Difficult to maintain and no match for the British weather, it sadly fell into disuse in recent years. 

While it's bittersweet to close the book on this chapter, an exciting new story is about to unfold!

The PTA had a really lovely afternoon in Histon Rd Co-op this week, celebrating the love Mayfield pupils have for their local community.

We had asked children across the school to write or draw on a paper heart the answer the question "What do you love about your community?". The responses were so lovely! The hearts were then put up in the Co-op in the run up to Valentine's Day and members of the wider community were encouraged to add their own heart to the wall.

We hope the hearts have brought a smile to families and local residents as the pop in for their shopping!

Mayfield Association of Parents & Staff (the PTA) is a Co-op Community Fund Cause, so it's lovely to build our relationship with our local store.

Our school's staff work incredibly hard to support our children. As a small way to say thank you, the PTA put on a special Inset Day breakfast for all the teachers and staff to enjoy. It gave everyone the chance to recharge their batteries after a morning of training, plus the chance to catch up with their peers.

Whilst serving bacon butties and vegan rolls, the PTA used the time to ask the staff for their priorities for PTA funding in 2024 and beyond. We were given a huge raft of fabulous ideas which will help us form our plans for the year ahead.

Thank you again staff! And huge thanks to two Year 6 families who donated cereals, jams and cakes for the staff to enjoy.

Getting through your first half term of school life is definitely something that should be celebrated, so the PTA hosted a small event for Reception families just before half term to do just that.

It was a lovely way for parents to meet and mingle with each other, to chat informally with school staff and for the children to play with their peers after school.

We hope you all enjoyed it as much as us! 

For any of you who picked up bunting triangles to decorate, please return these to the school office so we can sew them together. If you would like to create more bunting please click here.

As part of the PTA's commitment to providing memorable, unique and engaging experiences for our pupils, we recently funded a special 'VR Day' for years 4, 5 and 6!

VR specialists Showtime VR came into the school for the day and ran a bunch of sessions that tapped into the school's key curriculum topics.

There were gasps as Y5 children were transported back to the trenches in WW1, amazement as Y4 got to experience volcanoes up close and maybe even a bit of fear as Y6 came face-to-face with the Vikings.

A fantastic way to bring the curriculum to life! Find out more about what else we've got planned on our Projects page.

A huge thank you to the Year 6 families who baked and bought goodies for our first year group bake slae of the year. There were meringues and cupcakes, pastry hearts and millionaire's shortcake, rocky road and chocolate twists. It makes you hungry just thinking about it!

And thank you to all the families who came along and supported the event. You helped us raise an amazing £260 for the school!

The next bake sale will be hosted by Year 5 and will be held on Friday 22 November.

"We invited History of the Page into school to inspire and excite the children before we began learning about the Romans in history. 

In recent years we have visited Verulamium (St Albans) to take part in a workshop and visit the museum. The workshop, although very good, was only one hour of a very long day. The day lacked freedom, the museum was incredibly small, and the venue was becoming increasingly overcrowded with other visiting schools.

History of the Page exceeded all our expectations. The quality of the resources and experiences were first class - mosaics, leather purses, copper name tags...

Craig, who led the day, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared his knowledge in an entertaining way. We loved that he accommodated those children that were not particularly interested in making the Roman artefacts, by teaching them Roman battle formations and had them marching and chanting up and down the hall!

We will definitely be inviting them again.

Thanks so much to all the PTA and to the parents who gave up their day to make the day possible."
