MAYFIELD

Mayfield Community School was founded in 1973 and is one of the first five Community Schools built in Ireland. There are now over 90 Community Schools throughout the country. The school was built to cater for 700 students and was equipped to provide a comprehensive curriculum. Community Schools were conceived as a resource to the community in which they were built, with the school serving the needs of its young people by day and the community at other times. To this end the first five schools also had a sports complex and a 25 metre swimming pool. The school is managed by a Board of Management. Today it remains true to the ethos of Community Schools which is to provide an education for all the young people of the community and to provide access to its facilities by the wider community when not in use by the school... The purpose of the school is to assist and co-operate with parents and their children in preparing young people for life. Our goal is that each young person will mature,..
