Mayfield School is an all age (4-19) School for pupils with severe and profound learning needs, we serve pupils and their families across the West of Cumbria. Our EYFS to KS3 provision is situated on the outskirts of Whitehaven, a small Georgian Town on the Solway Firth, and our KS4 and Post 16 provision is situated in Cockermouth, both sites are in West Cumbria. Both sites have easy access to the Lake District and the Scottish Borders.

Mayfield is an inclusive environment where all pupils feel welcome and valued, where the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and wellbeing of every young person matter.

We have a highly dedicated and extremely talented staff team and we work in partnership with a wide network of professionals to support our pupils and ensure they receive the highest quality provision and care.

We support our pupils to reach their true potential. We are a strong and supportive community, where everyone is thinking and everyone is learning.
