Welcome to the 'Nippers'

Richard Selley, B.Ed. Head of the Junior School

As Head of the Junior School, I am delighted to have this opportunity to welcome you.

The Nippers is a special place. It has always enjoyed the distinct advantages of being a small school conveniently located close to Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city. Here is a community where every individual matters, a school which offers the space and opportunity for everyone to find their own route to success - whether in academic achievement, sport, art, music, drama or other activities, wherever their talents and interests lie.

The School's size and campus enable pupils, aged 3 -12, to enjoy the freedom of their childhood within a safe and caring environment. Small classes allow all children the chance to discover and develop their talents, whilst receiving maximum individual attention. The School's busy hub in North Esk Lodge draws all the children together, whether they are day pupils, full or weekly boarders.

If you have any questions about what we offer, please do not hesitate to contact us. I and my colleagues will be pleased to help. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes from Loretto.

Yours sincerely,
