Curriculum Plan
The School Values (A.I.R)
We have reviewed our old school values and stakeholders have agreed our new school values. Ambition, inclusion, and respect are now at the core of our curriculum. This recognises that we foster not only academic success but also the development of well-rounded, empathetic, and capable individuals who are ready to contribute to society in meaningful ways.
We want our children to be:
Ambitious (Value of Ambition)
Inclusive (Value of Inclusion)
Respectful (Value of Respect)
Curriculum Intent
We believe that our school motto, Believe. Achieve. Succeed. gives everyone within our school community a sense of direction, identity, and purpose. It helps us all:
To believe in ourselves, our own abilities, in other people and the world around us.
To achieve our full potential by successfully reaching our goals through effort, skill and confidence.
To succeed in becoming the person we want to be.
Childhood should be a happy, investigative and an enquiring time where there are no limits to curiosity and there is a thirst for new experiences and knowledge. Children from all backgrounds should have the same opportunities and therefore we provide a rich and varied curriculum with practical experiences across and within subjects. Community involvement is an essential part of our curriculum as we celebrate local traditions, learning new skills to enable the children to take an active role in events throughout the year. Mayfield School provides opportunities for children to develop as independent confident learners with high aspirations, who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and the wider society. Our vision is for every child at Mayfield to be valued, supported and inspired within a family ethos that raises aspirations and makes a real difference to the life chances of our young people. We do this by creating an inclusive community, respecting and celebrating the cultural diversity of the school, the local community and the wider world. Opportunities are given for children to gain a sense of pride for being a good citizen in the community in which they live through the embedding of the core values of being:
Ambitious (Value of Ambition)
Inclusive (Value of Inclusion)
Respectful (Value of Respect)
The educational experience is underpinned by the school’s mission statement:
All stakeholders, together, will create an environment of respect and inclusion where all young people are valued, supported, inspired and future ready. We will achieve this by providing our pupils with:
Outstanding academic standards, with a particular focus on acquiring a foreign language, developing competency as a musician and performer, as well as encouraging excellence in sport.
Outstanding pastoral care based on nurturing each individual's self-esteem and ambition to realise their full potential; and
Outstanding opportunities to live and breathe the school values (Ambition. Inclusion. Respect.) to succeed both at school and prepare them for being a well-equipped member of society and ready for the world of work.
