About Mayfield School (Blenheim)

Mayfield School is a contributing primary school in Blenheim, catering for students from New Entrant to Year 6. The school has a roll of approximately 95 students and five classrooms, named Nikau, Kōwhai, Rātā, Tōtara and Pōhutukawa.

The school was established in 1955 to serve the population growth Blenheim experienced after World War Two. Its name reflects the market gardens and farm fields that once occupied the surrounding area. The school sits at the northern end of Blenheim township, near Lansdowne Park sports field.

A waharoa (gateway) built in 2003 marks the entrance to the school. Its carvings and inscriptions acknowledge the school's history and its connection with tangata whenua. The school describes this connection as a defining part of its character.

Students can participate in Kapa Haka and Pasifika groups, reflecting the cultural diversity of the school community. The school also offers sports including netball, swimming, athletics and rugby, and runs a school garden with a focus on sustainability.

From 2025, the school adopted Maths No Problem as its mathematics programme across all year levels.
