Our curriculum at Mayfield School takes its inspiration from, and is a response to, the needs of our pupils, community and our ambitions as a school.
Within school we have six learning pathways. These are designed with the intent to meet the needs of all learners, enabling them to achieve their individual potential.
At Mayfield School, all pupils access a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum through one of our curriculum pathways. Teaching, learning and assessment are adapted to meet individual needs and EHCP outcomes.
