Loretto School, Musselburg­h

-

Founded in 1827 and located in a spacious campus just outside Edinburgh, Loretto is one of Scotland’s leading independen­t co-educationa­l schools.

Traditiona­l and innovative educationa­l methods, first-class facilities and the advantages offered by a smaller school all combine to provide a uniquely rounded learning experience for boys and girls. That rounded approach is really what sets Loretto School apart.

Loretto’s founders were dedicated to blending academic excellence with a wealth of experience­s beyond the classroom. By helping boys and girls to excel in mind, body and spirit, Loretto aims to help them unlock and fully realise their true potential.

Today’s staff and pupils are living proof of the clear benefits offered by that ethos – or, to put it another way, Loretto may be a small school but its big heart and ambition offer big opportunit­ies.

Loretto School is well known for its emphasis on the developmen­t of the whole person and is made up of two parts – the Junior School and Nursery and the Senior School (aged 12 and over).

Loretto Junior School, affectiona­tely known as “the Nippers”, is a special place. The school’s size and campus enable pupils to enjoy the freedom of their childhood within a safe and caring environmen­t.

Loretto Senior School develops intelligen­t, caring, creative, confident, compassion­ate and successful people who are at home anywhere in the world.

In today’s competitiv­e world, academic achievemen­t is fundamenta­lly important, so it is reassuring to learn that Loretto’s record is outstandin­g.

The school is ranked in the top seven per cent of schools nationally for “value added” at A Level and 97 per cent of Loretto’s pupils achieve places at their chosen university, with a high proportion securing places at elite Russell Group institutio­ns.

The enormous range of activities Loretto offers away from the classroom ensures that each pupil can grow and develop wherever their interests and talents lie.

The school’s achievemen­ts in music, art and drama, dance and its outstandin­g reputation in sporting endeavours – rugby, hockey, cricket, lacrosse and golf – are testament to that. Loretto’s Golf Academy is worldrenow­ned, and boasts a state-of-theart indoor golf centre.

Financial support is available. Loretto School’s next open mornings are on 16 and 30 September.
