Why Mayville?
We have high academic standards and strive to achieve the best outcomes for our pupils. We also believe learning should be fun and that happy children flourish in an environment which values and promotes inclusivity, community and a sense of belonging. This is the balance at the heart of our ‘whole child’ approach and we deliver this, in practice, through our independent curriculum, small class sizes and first-rate pastoral provision.
The Mayville difference
Headteacher's welcome
Based in the heart of Southsea, Mayville High School offers an excellent education for boys and girls. A remarkably warm, inclusive and caring ethos guides all pupils to achieve their own personal best.
Tailored learning
Mayville has always offered a ‘whole child’ approach to education, that values every child’s unique talents and interests. Small class sizes enable us to know each pupil and tailor their individual development throughout their school life.
Meet our pupils
We are proud of our pupils' independence, confidence and eloquence, but don't take our word for it! Let them tell you how Mayville is helping them to follow their dreams and realise their aspirations.
Meet our staff
A school is more than its buildings and infrastructure. The character of Mayville is cultivated, in no small part, by the people who work here. We have a team of specialist educators and support staff who are dedicated to ensuring that every child realises their potential.
The Mayville Family
Life at Mayville is characterised by a strong sense of family. After leaving school, The Mayville Family provides former pupils, parents and staff with an ongoing connection to our close-knit community.
