Marymount International School entrance guide
An international Catholic girls’ school in Kingston Upon Thames and just a short train journey to central London, Marymount is a popular choice with locals and those who live further afield looking for a selective school.
Like many international schools, Marymount provides a comprehensive IB curriculum and maintains an excellent reputation for top results. To further emphasise its international credentials it merges elements of the US and UK systems in its terminology. The school offers both day and boarding places for girls aged 11-18.
Marymount is a relatively small school with around 250 girls enrolled across six years, or “grades”, including the Sixth Form. Entry to the school is dependent upon successfully passing the admissions process, including examinations. The school welcomes in year applicants to contact the school directly for ‘occasional place’ entries, with the vast majority of girls starting in year 7 (Grade 6) after completing the 11 plus.
Below, you can meet our tutors who have experience supporting applicants to Marymount International, alongside information for families looking for 11+ and occasional in-year entry to this popular international school.
Open Days and Events at Marymount International School
Marymount offers both private tours and specific open day events for prospective families. These can be booked in either directly with the school or via the website. As a large number of students come from overseas, Marymount also provides a comprehensive ‘virtual tour’ on their website, alongside individual online appointments with the admissions team.
11+ Entry to Marymount International School
An assessment day for 11+ entry to Marymount takes place in the second half of the Autumn Term when your child is in Year 6. Parents are asked to submit an application form which includes details of their daughter’s current school. Following this, girls are invited to the assessment day. This will include baseline assessments which are likely to be done via computers, a chance to meet staff and some face to face problem solving activities, likely to be group-based. Marymount prides itself on a relaxed and approachable admissions process, reflected in the chance for prospective students to spend a day at the school meeting current students and staff, and not simply sitting an exam. Offers are sent out quickly following the assessment process, usually the following month.
Occasional In-Year Entry to Marymount International School
Prospective parents for in-year occasional places at Marymount should contact the admissions team to check if there are spaces in the year group. Following this, the same process will apply for 11+ entry, with girls being invited for an assessment day once the application form has been completed with current details.
Scholarships and Bursaries at Marymount International School
Scholarships are available for entry at 11+ at Marymount for all-rounders; assessment for these takes place in the Spring Term of Year 6. Further details are available from the admissions team at the school.
Bursaries are available at Marymount for girls who would not otherwise be able to access the educational opportunities offered. The application forms are available directly from the school and will be assessed on an individual basis.
