Loreto Grammar School is a Catholic Voluntary Grammar School for girls in the 11-18 age group. The school has a long tradition of excellence based on a Catholic Loreto ethos and distinctive philosophy of education which is centred in the firm belief that each girl has a voice and is valued; can and will achieve her personal best; is empowered to fulfil her dream in modern society and place her gifts and talents in service to others.

The school was founded in 1855 by Loreto Sisters, and is now under the trusteeship of the Loreto Education Trust.
