Mr Fitzpatrick (PE Teacher) who took the Mayfield team said “From the first game Tellog played a really high standard. He was a credit to the school and he managed to raise his game as he moved through the rounds. His shot selection and power were incredible and a result of the hard work he puts in during training.”

Tellog will now represent Portsmouth at the regional finals.

I am delighted to inform our community that the school has again been pledged a substantial sum of money to further develop the school’s social areas.

Many thanks go to both Mr Neil Clifford, a former Mayfield School pupil and to the family of the late Miss Margaret Young, a former pupil from 1933 to 1937 who has left money to us from a share of her estate.

We will be working closely with our student body to decide how this money should be best spent and, as ever, please visit our website regularly for updates.

I would like to remind parents that whilst the vast majority of our students look very smart and adhere to the uniform and dress code, there remains a small number of students who persistently do not have the correct uniform, wear excessive makeup or jewellery or continue to use mobile phones in school.

I would ask every parent and carer to support the school in ensuring that our policies are adhered to strictly and to remind you that if students do have mobile phones in school they should be switched off and left out of sight, in bags etc.

Please be aware that Mayfield School takes no responsibility for any loss or damage to valuable items.

Theme of the Week... Through Tutor groups next week we will be learning about Holocaust and on Friday 27th January a group of Year 7, 8 and 9 students will be planting daffodil bulbs in memory of all of those who lost their lives in various Holocausts which have occurred around the world.
