THE MAYVILLE DIFFERENCE Our mission is to prepare a child for life, not just for examination success. As such, we give every pupil in our care a broad and balanced foundation in liberal and cultural disciplines. Our varied curriculum combines dedicated academic endeavour with a wide range of creative, historical and sporting events. Mayville is a place to develop lifelong good habits, foster passionate beliefs and forge lasting friendships. Our regulatory body, The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), has rated all aspects of Mayville’s provision as ‘Excellent’ – the highest possible rating. Particular praise was afforded to our commitment to teaching pupils to use their voice for good, with authenticity and in a spirit of humility. Additionally, the moral development of our pupils provides a robust framework of values, which will inform and shape their adult lives. This is reflected in the curriculum, where philosophy and applied ethics is incorporated within our comprehensive PSHEE programmes. Mayville pupils are equipped with the critical thinking skills essential to navigating an increasingly media-dominated world. Our work and success ultimately depends on the quality of our teaching staff, which has been tested, and proven, in triumph and adversity and on good days and bad. It is impossible to explain the perfect syntax of a poem, the notation of a symphony or the rational logic of a mathematical theory, without making these things attractive to those we have the honour to teach. The ethos at Mayville serves to instil a life-long love of learning in every pupil. Throughout all aspects of school life, studies and activities are inclusive and structured to meet the needs, challenge the expectations and exceed the goals of each individual. We strive to cultivate habits of organisation and clarity of thought in our pupils, together with a deep respect for the best that has been thought and said in our national and global traditions. In so doing, we nurture their spirits in the qualities of self-expression, patience, honesty and reverence for beauty. As a wholly inclusive school, pupils typically leave Mayville with a developed sense of empathy and how best to be of service to others; for it is this that will ultimately define them, throughout their lives.
“Pupils develop excellent skills and understanding across all areas of learning and develop excellent self-understanding, self-esteem and confidence.” ISI Inspection Report
