Loreto Preparatory School is a Catholic independent primary school for girls aged 3 to 11 years which is under the trusteeship of the Loreto Sisters. The Loreto Sisters are a worldwide network, with schools in most continents. The foundress of the order was Mary Ward, a Yorkshire woman of great vision who, in the late 16th century, believed in education for girls! Her teaching was based firmly on the Gospel values and she upheld the principles of Truth, Justice, Sincerity, Freedom and Joy,
