Marymount London Prospectus

MARYMOUNT IS A SCHOOL ROOTED IN LOVE .

Inspired by the charism of the RSHM and rooted in this rich tradition, Marymount London proudly stands as the first all-girls' school in the UK to adopt the International Baccalaureate curriculum. This, coupled with the Middle Years Programme, promotes genuine intellectual curiosity with independent and creative thought across a broad range of subject disciplines. The IB Programme enables our students to embrace a comprehensive set of skills and attributes providing an excellent foundation for higher education and beyond!

Marymount girls love to learn and learn to love in a warm and inclusive environment that challenges and supports them. We are committed to the holistic development of your daughter and see it as our privilege to work in partnership with you to help her realise her true potential and to develop her gifts and talents to the full. Girls here are empowered to build their confidence, spirituality, leadership skills and sense of self. Who we are teaching is as important as what we are teaching. Our students are valued as individuals and their contribution to the Marymount community is recognised and appreciated.

Whether innovating in our STEAM Hub, debating in class, dancing on the stage, or learning a new world language, Marymount girls are encouraged to sharpen their critical thinking skills, collaborate with others, and celebrate our wonderfully diverse community of over 35 nationalities. Our graduates are truly global citizens who are internationally-minded. They leave us well prepared for the world they will enter and eager to make a positive contribution in whatever path they choose.

Our garden campus is located just twelve miles from central London. We warmly invite you to a tour of our beautiful campus to learn more and see what makes Marymount such a marvellous place for girls and young women to learn and grow into their very best selves.

Warmest regards,

Margaret Giblin, Headmistress

TELLING OUR STORY…

“I have really enjoyed my years as a boarding student, mostly because of the interesting people I have met who have become my second family. I have learned from each experience which has made me a better person.” – Grade 9 student “The facilities are state of the art, the teaching methods are creative, collaborative, and often employ technology as tools in a variety of subjects. The campus is lovely, the entire staff is accessible, and the motives/ethos are genuine. Marymount does not misrepresent itself; it is as warm and embracing as it appears.” – Marymount parent “I joined Marymount after being in an all UK curriculum for the past 8 years of my life… Transitioning to an IB school has given me the opportunity to flourish in every aspect of school life, and I believe it has truly given me a life-long love of learning.”

GRADES 6 TO 10

GRADES 11 AND 12

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) encourages Marymount girls to draw meaningful connections between eight broad and varied subject groups: Language & Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals & Societies, Science, Mathematics, Arts, Design, and Physical & Health Education. With a central focus on the development of conceptual understanding and effective approaches to learning (ATL) skills, the MYP is a student-centered, inquiry-based program rooted in interdisciplinary learning.

Students are challenged and supported to become effective communicators, open-minded inquirers, and reflective practitioners, thus acquiring the foundational skills needed to experience success in the Diploma Programme. MYP students learn how to learn for deeper understanding in a creative, collaborative environment which fosters critical thinking, resilience, and independence.

The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is recognized and respected globally by the world’s leading universities.

Marymount Diploma candidates study one course from each of six subject groups, three at Standard Level and three at Higher Level. These must include two languages, one subject relating to social studies, one laboratory science, one mathematics, and a sixth subject, which may be music, theatre arts, visual arts, or another in the first four categories mentioned. In addition, all Diploma candidates follow a critical-thinking course entitled Theory of Knowledge, submit an extended essay (normally related to one of the examination subjects) and participate in the Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) programme.

Students and teachers collaborate closely in preparation for May IB exams through internal assessments, class presentations, projects, and extensive independent research.

Purposeful Learning Now in its 65th year, Marymount London continues to provide a rich and expansive curriculum, offering 16 subjects, as well as 18 activities and extramural clubs.

Our small class sizes, averaging 12 students, ensure Marymount girls have the opportunity to discover and become their best selves. Our students are prepared for a world that requires their global awareness, curiosity, compassion, and willingness to use their gifts in service to others. Marymount girls build their confidence, leadership skills, and sense of self surrounded by enthusiastic and welcoming faculty and classmates.

Single-sex Education Marymount believes in the power and potential of young women.

At Marymount, there is no such thing as a girl’s subject or a boy’s subject. Marymount girls pursue their interests and discover new passions in an environment rich in leadership opportunities where they express themselves freely and confidently.

Our dedicated faculty is fully committed to the academic, emotional, spiritual, and social development of all students. Developing confident student leaders is at the heart of what we do.

Boarding Boarding at Marymount London means living in a vibrant community with girls from around the world, discovering new experiences, and managing a balanced and challenging academic program in an environment that provides structure, support, and plenty of fun. We are an inclusive school community that prides itself on giving each girl a place where she will feel at home.

The lines between the experiences of our day and boarding students are intentionally blurred in order to form a unified student body. The girls share a full academic day, enriching activities, and opportunities to grow in their understanding of themselves and others.

Marymount students experience the best of both worlds: an opportunity to live/study in the beautiful Surrey countryside and easy access to one of the greatest cities in the world. London is only 20 minutes away and easily accessible by public transport. Museums, shows, historic sites, international cuisine, parks/gardens, and shopping are all within easy reach.

Options include Full, Weekly and Flexi-Boarding
