Mayfield Primary is a larger than average sized community primary school with 380 pupils aged between four and eleven. Most pupils are of white United Kingdom heritage but about a fifth of pupils come from a wide range of ethnic minority backgrounds. The majority of admissions to the school live outside its designated catchment area.

Over 20 languages are spoken by pupils at home and nineteen per cent of pupils speak English as an additional language. The school often caters for the families of students who are staying in Cambridge for a short time; as a result its mobility levels are high and a higher than average proportion of pupils joins or leaves the school at times other than the usual transfer points.

The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at seven per cent, is low. A high number of pupils have special educational needs – 30 per cent.

The school has a unit that gives specialist support to pupils who have hearing impairment and come from a much wider area of the county.

When children are admitted to the Reception classes, their attainment varies considerably; it is average overall but a significant minority have well-developed skills in English for their age. (Ofsted).
