Our Ethos
At Mayfield, students study performance, composition and music theory through various genres of music from around the world. Music can help to develop personal learning and thinking skills. It also serves to develop students’ imagination, sensitivity and resourcefulness. Studying Music can lead to lifelong participation - both as a career path and as a leisure activity.
At Mayfield our Students thoroughly enjoy Music, and is shown particularly through participation in extra-curricular activities and their outcomes - such as successful school concerts and performances.
Subject Curriculum Map
Home Learning
The music department uses the online learning tool Show My Homework as an integral part of the music curriculum. Set homework is regular, meaningful and is always related to the most current unit the students are studying. We use homework as a way to develop and assess the students' theoretical knowledge of music. For students who have missed lessons, resources are also made available on Show My Homework for them to practice at home or in school.

At Mayfield we run a wide range of musical activities outside of school hours. These include:

Many of the groups, along with soloists, perform at a number of different occasions, such as the annual Summer and Winter concerts, Open Evening's, Assemblies and also in the local community.
