Black Country Finals Netball Tournament

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.

Lower III Residential Oakerwood

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.

Young Shakespeare Company ‘Hamlet’

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!

British Science week 2025

Mayfield celebrated British Science week last week with a visit from South Staffs Water company providing workshops across the school. Pupils learnt about water conservation, rivers and where water comes from. Pupils were invited to take part in our annual poster competition. This year’s theme was Change and Adapt. Winners were selected from each class with a runner-up and then five overall winners to have their poster entered in the national competition. Well done, to all who took part.

World Book Day 2025

World Book Day was celebrated by pupils and staff by dressing up as their favourite book characters and taking part in various book related activities. Lower III took Kindergarten on a bear hunt and read with Nursery pupils. Across the school, there were various book activities from scavenger hunts to colouring favourite book characters and book marks. Upper School took part in the Poetry By Heart competition, where pupils learnt to recite and perform two poems; one from before 1914 and one from after 1914. Each class performed their poems in English lessons and then there was a final round with finalists from each class performing in front of the school and a panel of judges. It was a close competition, but the winners from each class were: Inaaya Ahmed from Lower II, Surran Sahota from Form II, Zayn Rasheed from Upper II and two winners from Lower III: Dylan Khera and Sehej Kaur. Well done all and good luck to the finalists who will be videoed performing their poems for entry into the national grand final.

Young Voices

At young voices we had a long rehearsal it was for three hours. Everyone was tired and hungry, but we had to keep going on till the rehearsal finished. Then it was dinner time I had pizza, animal biscuits, apple juice and two oranges for my tea it was yummy. Then came the concert; we saw Aanya, Ryan, Sukhmani, my mommy and I even saw my best friend Raine had come with Ru. We had special guests like Mc Grammar, Tommy Blaize and Souparnika Nair. Mc Grammar was rapping in readers are leaders and we were singing. Tommy Blaize was singing Lean On Me with us and No Woman No Cry. Souparnika. Nair was singing Brighter Days with us. The other songs we were singing were Pop Medley, Marley Magic, Birdhouse in Your Soul, Oceania, Let’s Dance, Try Everything, Get Loud, Little Blue and Hairspray. It was really loud. Everyone had a Young Voices torch except one person. Then it was the end of the young voices concert. Everyone was tired. I went home at 23:23.

Swimming Gala

On Tuesday 28th January, some of the LIII pupils and a FII pupil went to the Walsall Gala Swimming Baths to participate in a schools swimming gala. A staggering twelve schools were also there with us, competing in many exciting races across four strokes – Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly. The atmosphere was electrifying with many spectators cheering everyone on. All the Mayfield swimmers performed brilliantly under immense pressure and undoubtedly felt honoured to be representing the school. Everybody swam their very best and the race results reflected this, with Mayfield swimmers often reaching the podium. Another incredibly successful sporting fixture completed for Mayfield, with astounding results!

Well done swimmers, you were a real credit to the school!
