Join us for a special performance celebrating the musical achievements of both current and former members of the Mayfield Orchestra. With this being Mrs Taylor’s final year at Mayfield, it’s a lovely way to honour the incredible music she’s brought to the school - and the many pupils she’s inspired along the way.
This performance is also part of Mrs Taylor’s farewell fundraising efforts, helping to ensure music continues to thrive at Mayfield long after she moves to pastures new.
Expect some much-loved Mayfield favourites, played by familiar faces past and present. It promises to be a memorable moment at our Summer Fair!
ORCHESTRA - performance at 4pm - 4.30pm
UKULELE - performance at 5.45pm to play you out of the fair!
Lots of lovely food to look forward to:
The BBQ will be a hive of activity, selling delicious burgers courtesy of Art of Meat (thank you Art of Meat!) + vegan burgers too
Mrs Aggarwal will be selling her amazing veggie samosas and bhajis (thank you Mrs Aggarwal!)
There will be Bangladeshi snacks & sweets from group of wonderful Mayfield parents
Ice cream van (thank you Mr V!)
We'll be selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts and fruit
Our hot and soft drink stall will keep you refreshed (with free refills on squash - just bring your cup back and we'll fill it up)
And we'll be running a bar selling grown up drinks (including alcohol free)
The Summer Fair can’t happen without your help! Whether it’s giving half an hour on a stall, watching kids so others can pitch in, donating books or teddies, or gifting a box of chocolates for the raffle - every little bit helps. It means more fun for the kids and more funds for the school!
We’re running our pay by token system again at this year’s Summer Fair – it's been a big hit in previous years, giving kids more independence, helping to reduce queues and reliance on cash - all helping things run more smoothly.
Advance collection available in June!
The token stall can get busy fast, so to cut down queues, you can now buy and collect tokens in advance:
Buy online via JustGiving (please only use this specific Just Giving link for tokens and don’t select Gift Aid – it doesn’t apply)
Collect (or buy) after school on Thursdays (in the school library) and Fridays (by the trim-trail)
All stalls and activities accept tokens, except the ice cream van. Mrs Aggarwal and the Bandgladeshi snack stall would prefer cash but will take tokens if necessary.
Grab your tokens early and skip the queues – see you at the fair!
Volunteer on the day – we need your help!
Could you spare just 30 minutes to help set up, run a stall, or tidy up after the fair?
Every extra pair of hands makes a big difference – helping things run smoothly, keeping queues short, and making sure we can offer as many fun activities as possible.
Sign up with a friend for double the fun - you can choose which stall or area of the fair you'll be on, so you can do something that works well for your kids, or sign up with a friend to keep the chat flowing while you help out!
Thank you!
Your child will be sent home with two booklets of raffle tickets (10 tickets in total). Please sell tickets to your family and friends - each ticket costs just £1 and we have some really awesome prizes lined up this year!
Need more tickets? Extra booklets can be picked up from the school office.
Please return the ticket stubs and money, plus any unsold tickets, to the school office by Wednesday 25 June.
We have been lucky enough to have been donated a fantastic range of prizes. We're so grateful to those local businesses who have supported the school by donating a prize - please take a moment to look through the list and please consider using these fantastic businesses!
To get our teddy tombola and book sale stalls off the ground, we're looking for donations of quality pre-loved soft toys and books. Plus Year 6 stall will be running a second-hand toy stall, so please donate pre-loved toys that another child would enjoy!
Please bring any of the above along to the school office by 25 June.
HAMPER PRIZES
We will also be giving away year group hampers as part of our raffle - please donate something you would like to win and bring it along to your child's classroom by Wednesday 25 June.
Children remain the responsibility of their grown ups and must be accompanied.
All the usual school rules apply - no tree climbing, no riding bikes or scooters in the school grounds, be kind to one another, and be respectful. We want the event to be safe and enjoyable for everyone.
The event is held across the outdoor areas of the school. Indoor areas are out of bounds except for designated toilets - please do not go into classrooms or other areas of the school unless directed to do so by a member of the PTA or school staff.
Lost children - please report any lost children to any member of staff or the PTA (PTA will be in yellow All Aboard t-shirts) or bring to the Lost Child point near the Bar.
Please also help us keep the site tidy - there are bins around the grounds, including recycling points. Please return any reusable cups/glasses to one of the PTA tables and we will wash them up ready for use at our next event.
Big thanks to: Art of Meat, Mr Verrecchia, Mrs Aggarwal, Decathlon, Playtime After School Club (Ben's Club), Anne Taylor, Agnes Sandor, the School Office staff, all the companies who donated towards our Grand Raffle, everyone who has volunteered to help, and all of you who who have donated teddies, books, toys and hamper gifts! Phew - that's quite a list!
The Summer Fair really could not happen without all of your help - what an amazing community we have both within and surrounding the school ♥️
