Junior & Senior School

A Flourishing Community

Loretto takes a whole school approach and pupils are welcomed from age 3 – 18. The learning begins in Loretto’s Pre-School where we provide a holistic education built upon a foundation of learning through play. We are large enough that our trained, experienced teacher and team of Early Years specialists can offer a broad range of curriculum subjects and activities, yet small enough to provide an environment where every child in known, nurtured and to thrive.

Each child’s individual learning is active and engaged and includes one full day per week spent learning outdoors in our Forest School. Combine this with part-time or full-time options, quality activities and wraparound care available from 7.45am to 6.30pm, three meals per day included and holiday clubs almost all year round and Loretto Pre-School is as hard-working for busy parents as it is welcoming for young children.

The next stage is Junior School, where pupils are encouraged to be responsible, respectful and resourceful. At Loretto, children are supported to actively purposeful with their learning and to develop a lively, enquiring mind. There are a wide variety of opportunities for physical development, through sports, forest school and outdoor learning. We champion the creative arts and provide targeted, specialist tuition across all age groups. 

Again, exceptional wraparound care, activities and three meals per day are available to all pupils. From Year 4 until your child finishes Upper Sixth, fees are inclusive of all lunchtime and after-school activities*, three meals per day, additional academic support via workshops and exceptional teacher-to child-ratios.

Moving up into Senior School, Loretto offers a diverse yet rigorous curriculum and incredible range of co-curricular activities. Beyond academic subjects, pupils are given plenty of opportunities to develop their artistic and sporting talents, as well as their sense of adventure. Loretto offers comprehensive programmes across each of these fields. 

We offer the flexibility and support required by modern families, including wraparound care and holiday clubs for Pre-School children through to Flexi, Weekly and Full Boarding throughout Senior School.

Beyond simply education, Loretto is a close-knit community where pupils forge friendships for life, cemented during our programme of extra-curricular activities as well as at the many social events and occasions pupils participate in both on and off-campus.
