The Mayfield Foundation brings together a growing community of Old Cornelians, parents and friends who share a deep commitment to the future of the School.
As a developing initiative, the Foundation is building momentum and creating meaningful opportunities for our community to get involved. Early support—whether through philanthropy, professional expertise, or shared connections—will play a vital role in shaping what the Foundation can achieve.
Together, we are nurturing a strong and enduring culture of giving that will support bursaries, scholarships and key developments across Mayfield, ensuring a lasting and meaningful impact for generations of girls to come.

For generations, the Chapel organ has accompanied our celebrations, liturgies and community gatherings, enriching school life with its distinctive and uplifting voice. The current organ has now exceeded its expected lifespan of 35–40 years, making the case for a new instrument increasingly pressing.
A new organ will support our Schola, enhance Chapel services and inspire future generations of musicians. It will also open up exciting opportunities for concerts, performance and wider community use.
This important investment will preserve Mayfield’s musical heritage while allowing it to flourish for many years to come.
Mayfield’s Scholarships recognise and reward exceptional talent, commitment and potential across academic study, the arts, sport and music.
Our Scholars make a rich contribution to the life of the School through their enthusiasm, creativity and aspiration, and they act as role models within our community. A Scholarship both celebrates a girl’s achievements and supports her continued development through tailored opportunities, enrichment and expert guidance.
These awards reflect Mayfield’s long-standing commitment to nurturing excellence and encouraging ambition, enabling talented pupils to thrive and contribute meaningfully to school life and beyond.
The General Bursary Fund provides vital financial support to girls who would otherwise be unable to benefit from the full opportunities of a Mayfield education.
Gifts to this fund help ensure that talented and committed young people can thrive here, regardless of their financial circumstances.
By supporting the bursary programme, donors play a direct role in widening access, nurturing potential and transforming lives. Every gift helps open doors for the next generation.
The Area of Greatest Need Fund allows Mayfield to respond with flexibility to the School’s most pressing priorities.
This fund enables us to direct support where it will have the greatest impact—whether in teaching and learning, pastoral care, facilities or co-curricular opportunities.
By contributing, donors help sustain the strength of a Mayfield education and ensure the School can meet emerging needs with confidence and care.
We continue to invest in Mayfield’s buildings, facilities and beautiful grounds to ensure that our environment supports excellence, creativity and wellbeing.
Our development projects both preserve the School’s rich heritage and enhance the spaces in which girls learn, create and grow. Careful stewardship of our estate ensures that Mayfield remains a safe, sustainable and inspiring place for future generations.
Music and the performing arts are central to life at Mayfield, fostering confidence, collaboration and creativity.
The Music and Performing Arts Fund supports this vibrant part of the School by providing instruments, technical equipment, costumes and performance opportunities. It ensures that every girl has the chance to explore and develop her talents.
Through this support, we sustain a dynamic programme that celebrates artistic expression and the joy of performance across the community.
Pastoral care lies at the heart of a Mayfield education.
The Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Fund supports the emotional, social and mental health of every girl, ensuring she feels safe, supported and able to flourish.
Gifts to this fund strengthen our pastoral provision, enable access to specialist support and enhance programmes that promote resilience, kindness and wellbeing. In doing so, they help create an environment in which every girl can thrive, both in school and beyond.
