Marymount London Boarding Student Handbook
2021-2022
WEEKENDS
Sunday Mass On Sunday, we sometimes celebrate Mass in the Chapel. On these occasions, you should be downstairs in Gailhac by 10:50am in preparation for Mass. You should be nicely dressed for chapel. Pack appropriate attire which includes trousers and a nice top or a dress or skirt of appropriate length. Please don’t bring your mobile phones or water bottles to Chapel. Mass is a time for personal reflection and a chance to deepen your relationship with God, and we ask you to remain quiet and calm before and after the service. On Sundays when there is no Mass on campus, you are welcome to accompany the participating group who might attend Mass at St Ann’s Church on Kingston Hill. A Houseparent will accompany you to the service and back.
Checklist For Overnight Trips on the Weekend: TO STAY WITH YOUR PARENT(S) OR UK GUARDIAN:
Have your mum, dad or guardian send an email; let them know they need to sign you out from the Boarding Office when they collect you. TO VISIT OR STAY WITH A FRIEND OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER:
Have your friend or other family member send an invitation by email, which includes their address, correct phone number and the times of your departure and return.
See COVID19 amendments on page 19.
Have your parent or guardian send an email providing permission.
On some Sundays we will hold our own Chapel Service, celebrating the liturgy of the day and various aspects of community life. We are always glad of student involvement in these services. All persons on campus are required to join these events.
Let your host know that they will need to sign you out from the Boarding Office when they collect you.
Weekly Boarding Students

Weekly boarding students can leave School on Friday after 16:00 and return before 20:00 on Sunday or by 8:15am on Monday morning. When you return on Monday morning, please sign in at the Boarding Office. If you need to remain at School for the weekend, your parents should inform the Head of Boarding by email. A charge for the extra nights will be added to your account.
Email flight details (both ways) to the Boarding Office. Have your parents send an email confirming that they are expecting you, along with details to/from the airport.
ALL permission emails noted above should be sent to: moderator@marymountlondon.com.
End of the weekend On Sunday evening, the return time for all boarding students to campus is 20:00. After this time, the office will be closed so the Houseparents can attend Hall meetings which might be scheduled or supervising the Halls, in preparation for the start of the week.
The Boarding Office will confirm all trip details with your parent(s) and the host family.
If you have been out of the country during the weekend, we request that you return to the School no later than 21:00. If you are unable to do so, we request that you stay with your Educational Guardian overnight and return to School in the morning. Please do contact the Head of Boarding if you have any problems in this regard.
