The Nippers (8 - 12 years)

The Nippers is a lively and caring department, often described as having 'a family feel', and is based in North Esk Lodge. As the children at Loretto transfer from the Early Years into the Nippers, they develop greater independence. Every child continues to benefit from individual attention, and has the opportunity to develop their particular talents.

At Loretto, the children will experience high quality teaching, expert coaching in sport, music and drama. They have opportunities to play in inter-school sport competitions and matches, to follow an extensive choice of activities, and to take part in a progressive and exciting residential trips programme.
