All Aboard is coming to an end: here's how you can help
Thank you! Thanks to the whole Mayfield community, the All Aboard campaign has raised an amazing £51,263 for our school so far - we couldn't be prouder of what we've achieved together.
But the clock is ticking. The campaign ends in October, and there's still so much we want to fund and achieve...
At the recent Meet the Teachers evening, Mrs Stepney spoke about how important the outside space is to the school - not only vital at lunch and breaktimes, but used throughout the day for PE, lessons, Out and About and for when children might need some quieter time away from the classroom. The grounds really are an extension of the school's classrooms.
We want to invest in those spaces so they are the best they can possibly be for all our children. Our plans include a sensory garden, an outdoor learning space and improved seating across the grounds.
We'd also love to create memorable, meaningful artworks across the school that celebrate the fantastic school we have today and make Mayfield pupils feel proud of where they learn.
Here's how you can help in these final weeks
Does your company donate to local good causes or offer match-funding? A quick chat with HR could help you find out. Put us in touch and we can do the rest: allaboard@fundmayfield.com
Join us at events. The school disco, bake sales and uniform sales are all coming up, and every penny spent at our events brings us closer to our goal. Find out more on our events page.
Fundraise for us! Got a fundraising idea? Maybe you're running this year's Town and Gown and could get some sponsorship? Or you could run a bake sale for your local community? We're also running our fundraising challenge for pupils, and every £1 raised edges us closer to our target. We'd love to hear about what you get up to. Find out more here.
Every donation helps us invest in Mayfield's children, and every gift, big or small, counts right now. Please ask your family, friends and grandparents if they would like to support the school too.
Donations of £100 or more will also feature on our in-school Donor Wall, a lasting reminder of what our community achieved together.
You can donate now via JustGiving.
Come and celebrate everything we've achieved together! The Finale takes place on Friday 13th November, 3.30-6.30pm in the large hall, and everyone is welcome: families, friends, grandparents, neighbours and former Mayfield families. It's a chance to see how far we've come, say thank you, and share in what this community has made possible.
If you'd like to speak to us about how you can support the campaign, please email us at allaboard@fundmayfield.com.
We've come so far together, and we can't make this final push without you. Please give what you can, and let's get Mayfield over the line!
Huge thanks to everyone who cleared their wardrobes and donated their unwanted clothes to us for our Little Recyclers fundraiser.
Poor Mrs Murray could barely fit in the small meeting room next to the office after all the bags had been dropped off!
Your efforts (and your unwanted clothes) raised a fantastic £152.10 for the PTA to use to support our school 😍
It was great to see so many of you at our Y6 Bake Sale last week. It's the last bake sale for this cohort of families, and they really went out in style, with some amazing bakes raising a record breaking £393.70!
The uniform sale was suprt popular too, with armfuls of second hand bargains being snapped up and raising £132 for the All Aboard campaign.
Thank you to the Y6 families for bringing in the bakes and supporting on the day, and to everyone who donated uniform for the sale too.
Thank you to the amazing Year 1 families who baked a fantastic array of goodies for last week's Welcome Back event. It was great to see so many families come along, buy a bake and catch up with friends.
The event raised £330 for the school too 😍
We hope the start of the school year has gone well for you all and look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.
