A personal admissions process
Choosing the right school
Choosing a school is an important decision, and our admissions process is designed to help families determine whether Mayfair is the right fit for them. We welcome students from ages 3 to 18 and offer a British international education through the Cambridge Pathway. From your first enquiry to your child’s first day, our team will guide you clearly through each stage of the process.
Why choose Mayfair school for your child?
Mayfair is a school for families who value a personal, human and purposeful education. We do not try to follow every educational trend, nor do we believe that impressive facilities alone define a good school. Instead, we focus on what we believe matters most: strong relationships, thoughtful teaching, personal development, staff training and a deep respect for knowledge. As a family-run school, we continue to improve our environment year after year, while preserving the warmth, care and sense of community that make Mayfair a place where children can feel known, supported and encouraged to grow.
Finding the Right Place for Your Child
Mayfair welcomes learners from ages 3 to 18, subject to availability and suitability for the year group. We consider each child individually, taking into account their age, previous curriculum, level of English, academic background and personal development. We aim to ensure that every child joins a class where they feel supported, appropriately challenged and able to thrive.
