School Description

Mayfield School educates pupils with disabilities and those with special educational needs. All have a statement of special educational needs identifying severe learning difficulties or profound and multiple learning difficulties. Almost all pupils are of White British heritage and the proportion known to be eligible for the pupil premium (additional funding) is well-above average. Since the last inspection, the number of pupils on roll has grown from 87 to 109. Two additional classes were added to accommodate this increase. At the beginning of this school year, three children of pre-compulsory school age were admitted. It has been four years since the last group of children of this age were on roll. The Early Years Foundation Stage provision has been reintroduced to meet the requirements for these children. There are 24 students above compulsory school age on roll.
