- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board is required to assess the ability of the School to meet its future obligations. Factors informing their conclusion that a Going Concern basis is appropriate in the preparation of the accounts include: That over the past many years the school has demonstrated an ability to manage its cost base such that over the past decade, with the exception of years impacted by Covid, the school has delivered surpluses or results close to breakeven. Steps have been taken to underpin future profitability including a significant reduction in costs for 2025/26 and beyond. The school has a strong relationship with its bank which recognises the strong asset base supporting the School's activities. This strong asset base provides additional financial resilience if required. Capital spend is carefully managed in that context.”

Significant events
- “In September, we were delighted to celebrate the opening of our new Wellbeing Centre, St. Raphael's, which was officially inaugurated by former pupil and Olympic Champion Emily Craig who inspired students with her story of perseverance and triumph.”
- “In December, we were proud to be rated "Outstanding" in all areas by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate, which praised Mayfield as an "exceptionally joyful and supportive school" where "kindness, welcome and respect are the golden threads of the school."”
- “This year, again, half the grades awarded to the Mayfield Upper Sixth were A* or A and an uplift on the A* occured.”
- “The School's GCSE results in 2025 were similarly impressive: a third of all grades were at the highest possible level: Grade 9; half of all grades awarded were a grade 8 or 9; and two-thirds of all entries graded 9-7.”
- “Mayfield continues to achieve exceptional results for a mixed-ability, non-selective school, with our Value-Added performance ranking in the top 16% nationally at GCSE.”
- “The School acquired Stone House from the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, a property that sits within the curtilage of the School grounds.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
