Education means so much more at ‘Mayville’
Mayville’s pupils star in numerous ways. Whilst we achieve academic excellence as shown by our excellent results, some pupils excel in other areas like sport, creative fields such as drama, music, art and design technology and others socially – whilst, of course, some excel in all areas. The experience of school is enhanced by the number of clubs and after school activities available. We are open 8am to 6pm for 50 weeks per annum. Academic excellence is, of course, the basis of our success aided by the average class size throughout the school of 16 pupils (Nov 2007), with teaching groups averaging 12 pupils in the Senior School. All pupils are treated as individuals, their learning styles assessed and their capabilities tested. Over the years Mayville pupils consistently achieve high standards in GCSE examinations. In 2007 our first intake of Senior Boys to complete the Senior School since we were founded in 1897, achieved 100% of at least five A* to C's, not to be out done the girls also achieved 100% A* to C's. Mayville offers an educational experience to pupils of a wide ability range and has specific programmes for 'Able and Gifted' pupils, whilst supporting pupils with Dyslexia in a Unit recognised by CReSTeD.
At Mayville girls and boys are taught in separate parallel classes to best meet their individual learning styles, although they do mix for some subjects including drama, music, history and geography – and socially of course! The wide ranging curriculum is enhanced by a variety of clubs and off site day trips (included in the school fees). The school’s philosophy recognises the importance of developing the self-belief of pupils as the basic ingredient to academic success. Mayville pupils are well known for their self-confidence.
There is an emphasis on sport and creative activities with boys and girls experiencing a great variety of sports, both individual and team based. After school clubs extend interest in these areas and holiday clubs are offered to further enhance skills. The sports week in the summer is always popular – it featured sailing, soccer, rock-climbing, bowling, skating, swimming and paintballing! Mayville regularly enters a team in Rock Challenge with pupils devising the concept, scenery, and much of the choreography.
There are many additional features of the school and full details can be found on our website but here are a few.
Our Nursery offers freshly prepared, home made, hot cooked lunches, in addition to breakfast and tea. All staff are qualified and experienced (Nov 2007). The main emphasis is on the acquisition of social skills and the basic building blocks in Literacy and Numeracy, art and craft, creative and physical development and so much more. French, computers, art, cookery, sports (including our annual Sports Day) and our Christmas Nativity play are also features of the Nursery.
In our Pre-prep Department some additional features include visits to museums, the library, participation in music and drama productions and various local festivals. The purpose built department is beautifully decorated with the children’s work during all seasons.
The Junior and Senior school pupils experience many educational day trips (included in the fees for all age groups), activity trips, and visitors to the school. There are also optional, fee paying trips abroad for ski-ing in Austria, as well as day and longer trips to France and Spain. In the past these have encompassed subjects such as Art, Choir, History, Language and Sport.
There is so much on offer in addition to the curriculum at Mayville that pupils leave our school with much more than just an educational experience.
School transports is available from surrounding areas (approx 15m radius), and from ferry and train terminals locally.
