Success at Mayfield is about more than results alone, and Lily's story is a wonderful example of determination, resilience and ambition.
Achieving 100% GCSE grades at 7-9, including one Grade 9 and six Grade 8s, Lily has balanced academic study with competing at an elite level in netball π
"Mayfield has played such an important part in my journey so far. Throughout my GCSEs, my teachers, particularly Ms Woodfield and Ms Auer, have encouraged me to aim high and supported me in balancing my studies with high-level netball.
During my GCSEs, I was training and playing around five to six times a week, representing London Pulse, Wales U19 and Academy netball club. At times, I would sit a GCSE exam during the day and then travel to play netball that same evening, so balancing both required a huge amount of commitment, organisation and resilience.
I am incredibly proud to have continued pursuing netball at such a high level while achieving GCSE results that I am really happy with, and I am very grateful for the support Mayfield has given me along the way".
A truly inspiring achievement. Congratulations, Lily.
