Mayflower offers a range of subjects, all of which are studied by students before year 9, at which point they begin [[GCSE]] courses and by year 10 drop subjects to concentrate on their chosen GCSE subjects. These include English Language and Literature, English Literature, Mathematics, Statistics (top set only), Triple Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), Double Science (Core and Additional), Single Science (Core), Religious Studies, Design and Technology, Technology: Food, Technology: Child Development, Business Studies, Leisure and Tourism, Travel and Tourism, Music, Drama, Art and Design, Applied Art and Design, BTEC Performing Arts, Spanish, French, History Modern World, History Schools Project, ICT, Geography and Physical Education. Alongside this, students study core Physical Education as well as Citizenship (including IT). For a short period this was also accompanied by Learning to Learn, but due to limited success and widespread unpopularity it was quickly scrapped. At GCSE students also have the opportunity to achieve the [[European Baccalaureate]]. At [[A Level]] the subjects available to students increase also to include Economics, Psychology, Sociology, BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Business, General Studies, Critical Thinking and the Extended Project Qualification (a subject highly regarded by its leadership team). The school does not offer the [[International Baccalaureate]]. |

A house on site facilitates the staying of language assistants, natives of either Germany, Spain or France, to assist students with their language studies, and all three subjects are complemented by trips to the relevant country, previous trips having sent students to [[Santander, Spain|Santander]] and [[Barcelona]]. |

With regard to its specialism in mathematics and science, the school has an extensive network of teaching and support staff in both subjects, headed by Mrs Mason in science, and Mr Eastwick in mathematics l. Both are supported by staff specialists for each year group, and with regard to science, specialists in either biology, chemistry or physics. Until recently this also included the field of psychology (a subject taken by students at A Level only) but this has now merged with the social sciences faculty instead. Both sciences have a dedicated computer suite. |
