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 sign up using the links below or drop us an email at contact@fundmayfield.comÂ
When: Donate by Wednesday 4th March
We'd love your donations of good quality second hand children's books for our annual World Book Day book swap!
How it works:
Please bring your donations of books to the school office by Wednesday 4th March
On World Book Day (Thursday 5th March), every child will get the chance to choose a book to take home
Any leftover books will be sold at our Bake & Book Sale on Friday 6th March (see below)
The school are running other World Book Day activities such as:
Dress up as your favourite book character on Thursday 5th March
Handwriting competition
Book tokens
When: Friday 6th March, from 3.15pm
Where: KS1 playground
It's Year 3's turn to bake! And with it being the day after World Book Day (see above), we're encouraging book themed bakes to tie in with Thursday's World Book Day - in the past we've had bakes based on Oi Frog, Dogman, the Gruffalo, and Alice in Wonderland to name but a few. See our gallery below for a bit of inspiration 🤩Â
We hope the year 3 families enjoy coming up with fun bakes as much as the rest of us will enjoy eating them 🙂
Alongside the bake sale we'll be selling off any remaining books from the book swap - a great chance to grab a bargain and support our fundraising at the same time.
Cash and card accepted
When: Sunday 8th March
Where: Around Cambridge
There's a group of Mayfield parents all running the Cambridge Half Marathon and hoping to raise a bit of money for our All Aboard campaign along the way.

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.
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!
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
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
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!
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!
We are registered for:
1-mile race – open to all year groups
Maximum 25 places available
Please only complete the form if you can definitely make the date of Saturday 25 April. All runners must be students at Mayfield Primary School and can be in any year group - from Reception to Year 6! We have a limited number of adult spaces available for those who need to run with their child - please express your interest on the form.Â
To register your place, please complete the short form below. Please complete one form for each child you would like to register.
📅Deadline: 9pm, Wednesday 25 March
If we receive more applications than available places, we will allocate spots on a first-come, first-served basis, based on when the form is submitted.Â
A waiting list will be created if needed.
We hope lots of children will take part! It’s a really special event and a wonderful experience that helps build an amazing community atmosphere for our school.
