我們是一所領先的天主教獨立寄宿和走讀學校，招收 11 至 18 歲的女孩，坐落在美麗的蘇塞克斯鄉村。我們的學業成績優異，課外活動豐富，教牧關懷堪稱典範——但最重要的是，梅菲爾德是一所快樂的學校。我們希望這個網站能讓您清楚地了解為什麼我們為我們的學校和我們的學生感到如此自豪。我們最新的 ISI 檢查報告指出，梅菲爾德的教育品質「優秀」。 《鄉村生活》雜誌將梅菲爾德描述為「這片土地上最好的學校之一」。
女生在 9 年級春季學期選擇 GCSE 科目。為了確保每個梅菲爾德女孩都具備良好的技能和知識平衡，GCSE 級別的某些科目仍然是必修科目。這些科目構成了所謂的“核心課程”，包括英語文學和語言（對於英語為第二語言的女孩來說，或國際英語）、數學、科學（選擇兩門獨立的科學，或三部曲- 綜合學科）科學課程相當於兩門GCSE）和宗教研究。
此外，女孩還可以從大量科目中選擇三個選項，包括藝術與設計、生物學、陶瓷、化學、古典文明、電腦科學、戲劇、食物與營養、法語、地理、歷史、拉丁語、音樂、體育、物理和西班牙語。
希臘文是課外課程的一部分，牛頓數學組的女孩也可以選擇參加進階數學。
梅菲爾德 A Level 課程（12 年級和 13 年級）的指導原則仍然是廣度和深度，學校擁抱 A Level 提供的學術探索的豐富性和多樣性。大多數梅菲爾德女孩在六年級開始學習自己選擇的三門科目，儘管少數學生如果學業成績表明她們會表現出色，也可以學習四門 A Level 課程。許多學生也將參加 EPQ。
梅菲爾德中學六年級經歷的教育價值透過豐富計畫進一步增強，該計畫的創建是為了為女孩們提供各種替代機會。它為他們提供了許多不同的方式來擴展和發展他們的學習和技能，參與討論和辯論，追求特定的興趣，並嘗試對他們來說不同或新鮮的東西。
We are a leading Catholic independent boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18, set in the beautiful Sussex countryside. Our academic results are excellent, our extra-curricular activities plentiful, our pastoral care exemplary – but above all else, Mayfield is a happy school. We hope this website will give you a clear sense of why we are so proud of our School and our pupils. Our latest ISI inspection report states that the quality of education at Mayfield is “excellent”. Country Life magazine described Mayfield as “one of the finest schools in the land.”
Girls choose their GCSE subjects in the Spring Term of Year 9. During Years 10 and 11, most girls will study nine GCSE subjects. In order to ensure that every Mayfield girl is equipped with a good balance of skills and knowledge, certain subjects remain compulsory at GCSE level. These subjects constitute what is known as the ‘core curriculum’, and include English Literature and Language (or International English for girls for whom English is a second language), Mathematics, Science (a choice of two separate Sciences, or Trilogy – a combined science course worth two GCSEs), and Religious Studies.
In addition, girls can then choose three options from a substantial list of subjects including Art and Design, Biology, Ceramics, Chemistry, Classical Civilisation, Computer Science, Drama, Food and Nutrition, French, Geography, History, Latin, Music, Physical Education, Physics and Spanish.
Greek is offered as part of the extra curricular programme and girls in the Newton Maths group also have the option of taking Further Maths.
The guiding principles of the A Level course at Mayfield (Years 12 and 13) continue to be breadth and depth, and the School embraces the increased richness and diversity of academic exploration that A Levels offer. Most Mayfield girls start the Sixth Form studying three subjects of their choice, although a minority of students may study four A levels if their academic profile suggests that they will excel. Many students will also undertake an EPQ.
The educational value of the Sixth Form experience at Mayfield is further enhanced by the Enrichment Programme, which has been created to provide a variety of alternative opportunities for the girls. It offers them many different ways to extend and develop their learning and skills, to get involved in discussion and debate, to pursue a particular interest, and to try something different or new to them.
