Marymount London Boarding Student Handbook
2021-2022
WHAT TO WEAR AT MARYMOUNT
Uniform
Hair
• Blazer for formal occasions such as Asembly on Wednesday morning or Mass
If you are in Grades 6-8, your hair must be tied back. In Grades 9-12, your hair may be down but should be tidy and off the face. Your hair should be a natural tone, and we ask you not to dye it in the Boarding Halls.
• On days that you don’t need your blazer you could wear a navy blue cardigan (front buttoning), navy blue ‘V’ neck jumper, Marymount fleece or Letterman Jacket (you can order this during the year).
Jewellery You may wear a single stud earring in each ear, a watch and a small chain if it is for religious observance. You will need to take it off for sports classes. Please don’t bring or wear extremely valuable or highly sentimental jewellery. It is really heart-breaking if they are lost or broken.
• Tartan skirt (Gr 6-8) navy blue; ‘A’ line skirt (Gr 9-12) or navy blue, full length trousers • White open neck blouse, long or short sleeve, with shirt collar (tucked into skirt)
Please note that tattoos, nose rings or face piercings are not allowed. Please keep makeup to a minimum during the school day, and nails clear of coloured varnish or fake nails.
• White or navy knee-length socks or navy tights • Plain black leather shoes (no pumps, trainers or casual shoes)
Leisure Wear
• Optional: Navy or white headscarf Once each term at a Hall meeting we will have uniform inspection to ensure that students have the correct uniform. We will support you by making sure you have everything you need so that you can wear our uniform correctly and with pride.

We want all boarding students to feel at home, which includes being able to relax in more casual attire on weekends and in study halls. Note however, this does not include wearing pyjamas around campus.
