Comment: Citations for article claims such as what the school offers, the Sports Complex and the rest of the alumni would be very helpful to establish further notability. Rambley (talk) 23:56, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

The school grounds have also been used by the Mayfield Men's Shed.^[7]

Notable alumni of the school include former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland international footballer Roy Keane,^[8] and Cork hurler Seánie McGrath.^[9]
