EVENTS & Diary dates
From bake sales to summer fairs, we run a range of events that bring our school community closer together whilst raising valuable funds for the school.
If you'd like to volunteer at any of our events, please contact the PTA at contact@fundmayfield.com
Year 1 Bake Sale
When: Friday 26 April, from 3.15pm
Where: Infant Playground
It's Year 1's turn to supply the goodies! The Bake Sale is cash only so please bring along your loose change. Funds raised will directly benefit the year 1 classrooms.
Year 1 families - please bring your bakes into school on the morning of Friday 26 April. And if you'd like to help out please just come along to the stall and make yourself known to a member of the PTA (we'll be the ones in the fetching blue tabards) 🙂
Muck-In May
When: Saturdays 4, 11 and 18 May
Where: Junior playground
We're helping getting the school grounds summer-ready and we'd love you to get involved. Can you help?
We've got a long to-do list (such as painting, fixing and planting) and many hands make light work, so if you think you can spare a little bit of time to help us, please register below.
Find out more on our dedicated Muck-In May page

Where: Castle School, Courtney Way CB4 2EE

Hot dogs, snacks and drinks will be served.
If you'd like to volunteer your help on the day (a handy excuse not to run?) , we'd love your help.
PTA Meeting
When: 7.30pm onwards on the dates below
Where: In the Mayfield Community Room, unless otherwise stated
The PTA meet about once a month to catch up on all the latest goings on. Everyone is welcome to join in at the meetings and it's a great way to get a glimpse of who we are and what we do.
Please either come along in person or join via the web link posted below a day or so before the meeting.
Next meetings:
Wednesday 15th May
Bag2School
When: 23 May 2024
We all have clothing in our wardrobes that we haven’t worn in ages. Bag2School gives you the chance to see some of those items reused or recycled whilst raising money for Mayfield.
In the week or so before the deadline, your child will come home with a bag to fill. Simply fill it up and return it to the school by 9am on Thursday 23 May.
We'll let you know how much we raise and how we will use those funds. Last year we raised over £500 across our Bag2School collections, so it's a really great way to raise money for the school.
Annual sunflower growing competition
Closing date: Monday 8 July
How to enter: Send a picture of your fully grown sunflower, along with it's height in cm to us at sunflowers@fundmayfield.com
Before Easter we sent all Mayfield children home with envelopes containing a few sunflower seeds. Here's what to do next...
Plant your sunflower seeds in the ground (or pot) in a warm, sunny place. Ensure soil is weed and stone free
Plant the seeds 12mm deep, pointy edge down
Water regularly
As your sunflower grows you will need to support the stem by loosely tying it to a stick
Send a pic and the height of your tallest sunflower (in centimetres) to sunflowers@fundmayfield.com on Monday 8 July
Prizes will be awarded!
Special thanks go to Darwin Nursery and Scotsdales who supplied the seeds for this year's competition.
