Pupils learn a variety of subjects, including Mandarin Chinese and classical languages, and can put these into practice in a variety of interesting school trips. The school is well funded and equipped, with a new Sixth form centre, language centre and sports hall. Equally, it doesn't forget its history, with a massive pipe organ in the main hall of the building where the school has had its home since the first was bombed during World War 2, and the school song giving pupils a real sense of identity. The only downside is the siting of the school - far from many people, but a little close to The Prittlewell School, leading to many of the pupils getting into scuffles with their rivals.

The course held here range from tango to romantic languages and pottery. They have some quite high-tech looking computer labs for design classes and art studios stuffed with supplies. In the grand scheme of things the classes are cheap - from £7.00 a week for ongoing classes that dont require any equipment. Good points: if you enrol as a student for a fiver you get to use the internet and facilities in the library for a year. Bad points: No air-conditioning in summer or heating in winter. sweltering.

Originally a grammar school founded by the Franciscans, it was the first voluntary aided comprehensive school to be awarded technology college status in East London. This was my secondary school. I had a great time here. As a Technology College, St Bonaventure's endeavours to promote an educational climate which is scientific, technological and vocational. Almost half the timetable is taken up with the teaching of Technology, Information Technology, Mathematics and Science. Located in Forest Gate, it has great access by both the district line (Get off at Upton park and then a 10min walk), and by plenty of buses so access is not a problem. In terms of uniform, years 7-9 wear a brown blazer with gold trim, gold and black stripped tie, black trousers and black shoes. year 10-11 students wear a black blazer with gold trim, yellow and black stripped tie, black trousers and black shoes. the P.E Kit was the same for both. It was white shorts, Blue jersey with a white horizontal stripe, and trainers. During my time, years 7-9 were not allowed outside of school for lunch. years 10-11 were allowed. School dinners were nothing special although the doughnuts were great. Outside of school, there are plenty of chicken shops and newsagents about 2 minutes walkfrom the school. This is a great school with a natural progression into the sixth form centre which has a high level of oxbridge applicants and admissions. One of the best (If not the best) consistantly for the last 15 years in grades. Highly recommended.

Recently, however, it seems that Mayfield is climbing up the Redbridge schools ladder. I asked my rather insightful cousin Kainat and her lovely friend Veronika, who both attend the school and are in their first year of GCSE's to shed some light on the establishment; "Mayfield High School is a weird and wonderful combination of a local lunatic asylum as well as being a playground for its rough kids", laughs Veronika. "The grade percentages are getting a lot better now and it is viewed as being a successful Humanities and Arts specialist school". "But it is known for harbouring a troublesome community", adds Kainat. Both girls admit that the staff are friendly and eager to expand the knowledge of their students, to enable them to achieve the best results they can. "The school holds an immense pride in their unique motto 'to be the best that you can be'; however, some students do not share the same enthusiasm", they girls profess. They, of course, appear fond of their school - it did, after all, unite them both! Thanks for the insight girls...x
