--- title: "Admissions" url: "https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/admissions" school: "Mayfield School" --- # Admissions ## Admissions Mayfield School is a Special School catering for students aged between 4 and 19 who have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). We have two sites, Whitehaven and Cockermouth. Children who are educated at Mayfield School must be directed to the school through the local authority. Mayfield School is a highly sought-after specialist provision, and the number of places available each year is limited. New places typically become available when pupils move on to their next stage of education. Placement decisions are made by the Local Authority, taking into account the individual needs of the child or young person and the availability of suitable places within the school. More information regarding this is available via your child's EHCP Coordinator or please [click here](https://cumberlandsend.co.uk/sites/default/files/364232/2025-12/Admissions%20guidance%20for%20specialist%20provisions.pdf) to see the Admission Guidance for Specialist Provision in Cumbria. ### School Information - [Admissions](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/admissions) - [Aims, Ethos and Vision](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/aims-ethos-and-vision) - [British Values](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/our-school/smsc) - [Careers, Information, Advice and Guidance](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/careers-new) - [Curriculum](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/our-school/curriculum/curriculum) - [Enrichment](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/our-school/enrichment) - [Development Fund](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/governors/development-fund) - [MOVE at Mayfield](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/move) - [Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA)](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/leading-parent-partnership-award-lppa) - [OFSTED](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/ofsted-report) - [PE and Sports Premium](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/pe-and-sports-premium) - [Policies](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/policies) - [Privacy Notice](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/privacy-notice) - [Pupil Premium](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/pupil-premium) - [SEN Information](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/local-offer) - [Sixth Form](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/school-information/6th-form) - [School Swimming](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/parents/school-swimming) ![Mayfield School ](https://files.schudio.com/mayfield-school-cumbria/images/logo/Mayfield_School_Logo_Shield_Only.jpg) #### Mayfield School Campus Whitehaven Red Lonning Whitehaven Cumbria CA28 8UG St Josephs Campus Mountain View Cockermouth Cumbria CA13 0DG 01946 691253 #### Useful Links - [Staff](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/our-school/staff) - [Campus Lettings](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/campus-lettings) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=mayfield%20school) © Copyright 2021–2026 Mayfield School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://mayfield-school-cumbria.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
