The Marymount London Pastoral System

• At Marymount who we are teaching is just as important as what we are

teaching.

• We nurture each individual and foster an awareness and appreciation
• f the unique needs and gifts of everyone.
• Our community is purposefully small; a positive relationship among all

community members is at the heart of all we do.

• The social-emotional development of our girls—attention to her sense of

self, her personality, her relationships—guides our pastoral care.

• All Faculty and Staff share a pastoral responsibility.
