Loretto Junior School, affectionately known as the 'Nippers' is a small, friendly school and we see ourselves as a large extended family.

The Junior School currently has about 200 boys and girls aged 3 to 12 years. It is made up of two parts, the Nursery (3 - 5 years) and Early Years (5 - 7 years), and the Nippers (8 - 12 years). We offer an outstanding day and boarding education to children of mixed ability from a wide range of social backgrounds.
