Mission statement
Loreto College is centred in God, rooted in Christ and animated by the spirit of Mary Ward, the founder of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our vision is that it will be an educational community where each person has the experience of being loved and valued as a sacred individual created by a loving God; a community where students enjoy an enriching and liberating education that helps them grow into the fullness of life and empowers them to be people of courage who are alive to the needs of humanity and committed to making a better world.
What does this mean for me as a Loreto student?
It means that we believe that our students are precious and important, and we seek to give you the best education, so you will be able to develop all aspects of your person, including your spiritual side.
We welcome students of all faiths and of no faith at all and we’re all united by the College’s values of Sincerity, Justice, Truth, Freedom, Excellence, Internationality and joy. These values proudly underpin everything we do at Loreto .
At Loreto we believe all students have the right to receive an overall education which will enable them, in the light of the faith of the Church, to engage with the deepest questions of life. As we work and study together, we unpack and develop our Mary Ward Values.
All of our students take part in a general RE programme, which provides a weekly opportunity to look at important themes in religion, spirituality and social justice. This means that you will have time to discuss your ideas and listen to the ideas of others. Understanding religion and why it is important to so many people is an important skill for the future.
We seek to prepare religiously literate young people who have the knowledge, understanding and skills to think spiritually, ethically and theologically, and who are aware of the demands of religious commitment in everyday life.
