Welcome to Mayfield Preparatory School, Walsall

A group of children from year 5 and 6 went to Wolverhampton university Walsall campus, to participate in the Black Country Finals Netball Tournament. It was a lovely warm day with plenty of sports, fun and teamwork. Although the results didn’t go our way, everyone in the team tried their hardest and it was a day to never forget.

Upper School and Lower School both took part in their respective Sports Days with the weather holding out for both. Glorious sunshine and warm weather meant all events were successfully completed. Upper School took part in the hurdles, sprints and team relays, with Lower III also completing the gruelling 600m race in the heat. Saran and Avraj both winning their races and then went on to win the overall competition for the girls’ and boys’ trophies.

Breaking News! The Under 11s Rugby team have qualified for the school games final and will be representing Walsall in the Black Country Games. Congratulations team!

Lower III had a great residential week at Oakerwood Leisure. They spent the week climbing over low ropes, dangling from the zipwire and working in teams to navigate around the woods and obstacle courses. The weather was glorious and lots of fun was had around the campfire with toasted marshmallows and hot chocolate. We started the week with a game of capture the flag and ended the week with a game of junior paintball. Lower III showed exemplary behaviour and all of the camp leaders spoke highly of the children and the school. They even learnt how to wash and dry up after meals and worked well as a team in a variety of challenges! See the review by Tia below.

Upper School enjoyed a performance of Hamlet by the Young Shakespeare Company. Pupils were whisked away to Denmark and were part of the cast, providing sound effects and even playing some of the parts! ‘To be or not to be’ was the question!
