Admissions

There is no one-size fits all approach at Loretto and this includes our admissions process. Our highly experienced admissions team love nothing more than providing a personalised approach for every family.

Applications are accepted for entry into all year groups. Our admissions procedure is designed to ensure that children joining Loretto, whether as boarders or day pupils, will be happy, successful and secure. 

We offer a tailored education for every pupil, based upon our founding motto ‘spartam nactus es, hanc exorna,’ which roughly translates as ‘you were born with talents: develop them’. This principle underpins Loretto’s personalised approach to each child’s education.

At Loretto, our goal is for your child to thrive in Mind, Body and Spirit and for all of our pupils to create exceptional lives.
