When: any time betwene 9.30am and 12.00pm on Saturday 14 March

Where: Mayfield grounds (entrance through KS1 gates)

Spring is just around the corner, and we’d love your help to get our school grounds looking their absolute best for brighter, busier playtimes ahead.

Our wonderful school gardener, Agnes, works tirelessly to keep Mayfield looking beautiful. But we like to get together to give her a helping hand - and it makes such a difference. With your support again this year, we can make sure the grounds are ready for a fantastic spring and summer outdoors.

We need you!

There’s plenty to do, including:

• • • Preparing and repairing raised beds

    • Moving compost from the green bags near the gates to planting areas

    • Weeding and pruning

    • General trimming and tidying

Whether you can spare 30 minutes or the full morning, every pair of hands really does help. The more volunteers we have, the more we can achieve!

If you can bring…

We’ll provide snacks and refreshments (fuelled by biscuits, of course!), but if you’re able to bring any of the following, that would be hugely appreciated:

• Secateurs

• Long-armed loppers

• Electric cutters

• Electric screwdriver + long screws

• Wood chipper

• Gardening gloves

Please sign up

Let us know you’re coming so we can plan jobs - and make sure we buy enough biscuits!

Thank you in advance for helping us create a lovely community atmosphere and beautiful outdoor spaces for our children to enjoy this spring. We really can’t do it without you. 🌼

When: Saturday 25 April

Where: Central London

Join the team running the TCS mini London Marathon to raise money for the All Aboard campaign

The PTA, working closely with Mrs Barnes, is delighted to share that we have secured 25 places at the TCS Mini London Marathon on Saturday 25 April (the day before the world-famous London Marathon).

Last year was a fantastic experience for everyone who took part – and we can’t wait to do it again!

A really special opportunity

This is an incredible chance for our children to be part of a national event, joining schools from across the UK. Runners will complete part of the iconic marathon route, starting at Horse Guards Parade, running past Buckingham Palace, and crossing the official London Marathon finish line on The Mall.

Even better, TCS will donate £10 to the school for every Mayfield child who crosses the finish line – so every step makes a difference!
