Friends of Mayfield Primary School is essentially a Parent Teacher Association which also welcomes involvement from members of the local community. We raise funds in order to supply the school with much-needed equipment and curricular support, as well as those all-important "extras" for the children. We also arrange social events, for children and families, to help build the school community.
