Mayfield MUN Delegation 2018

Last week 10 of Mayfield's students attended a debate at Seven Kings School’s Model UN Conference. A special mention must go to these students for their conduct, efforts and passion at the event. We can all be proud of the way that they represented Mayfield. Better still, this year two of our students were given awards for their performance: Shaniah was awarded ‘Best Delegate’ in her committee, and, as she represented the USA, dealt well with the pressures of being the most significant country in her committee. Jaskiran was given the ‘Honourable Mention’ award. Even though this is sort of, second place, Jaskiran was in a committee which consisted entirely of Year 13 students. Thus, we can be extremely proud of her efforts.   Considering that most students participating (25 in each committee) were from Seven Kings School, winning these awards is no small achievement, and shows how well prepared the Mayfield students were, and the composure of their efforts during the conference. All participating students represented our school brilliantly!

Graduate Fashion Week Trip

Recently our Year 11 Textiles students were given the opportunity to visit Graduate Fashion Week; an annual charity-run event in the UK. “It was my first time at a fashion show. It was amazing, exactly like on TV.” Graduate Fashion Week is the largest showcase of fashion degree work in the world, with over 35 UK universities and colleges on show. The work and the graduates represent the future of creative design talent, which will one day be some of our students. The students were greeted by designers, buyers and merchandisers from George @Asda, John Lewis, Tu and M&S. The employees educated the students about the reality of working in fashion and the different roles in the fashion industry. After receiving goodie bags from all the industry professionals the students ventured off to explore three floors of exhibition space; to which a student stated, “Im definitely going to make sure my work is good enough to be chosen to make it to Graduate Fashion Week.” The rest of the day was spent liaising with university tutors and university students, and looking through graduate portfolios and sketchbooks. The day culminated in watching a fashion show with 46 students from De Montfort University, showing their final collections on a catwalk in front of the World's most elite fashion experts and fashion bloggers.

Sports Day 2018

Friday 29th June 2018 was Mayfield School's annual Sports Day. It was a fantastic day filled with competitive personas, great music, and lots of peer support. Mr Porter and the Mayfield Steel Pan band played excellent Caribbean inspired music throughout; very appropriate to the weather conditions and celebratory atmosphere. The day was made up of three stages. The first two being Track Events for Years 8 and 10, and then Years 9 and 11. The final stage was the Field Events, in which a number of students from all years competed. The results were outstanding with many students achieving better than they thought they could. The overall winners were 8M4, 9M2, 10M3, and 11M1; receiving a grand total of 122, 129, 127, and 130 points, respectively. Mayfield School would like to congratulate everyone for their great efforts this year, as well as the extrememely high level of support showed to fellow peers.
