Year 11

Ms S. Smith

I believe the role of Year Group Leader is to support, guide, and inspire young people to be the best versions of themselves. We help to build confidence and independence within the school environment through various techniques both in and out of lessons. It's extremely rewarding to see our young students grow into strong, intelligent, and independent individuals. We aim to ensure all are equipped with life skills that will allow them to succeed at anything they want to do.

Being a former pupil of Mayfield I have had the pleasure of being taught by some of the staff here. Mayfield has supported me through my schooling and now I am a proud member of the Mayfield pastoral team.

Our focus as a year group is to build on the idea of being a community. We encourage our students to take part in activities within school and treat each other as a family. Whether they are arriving new to the school or simply transitioning from primary school we are there to help make this easier.

Being an Assistant Year Group Leader has given me the chance to help our students mature into young adults, who are able to achieve their dreams and aspire further. It is imperative that our students have the ability to maintain positive relationships with staff and students alike. I make it my priority to ensure students feel safe and comfortable in and out of school and have the confidence to discuss issues they may have.
