James - Class of 2023

Subjects Studied at Loreto: A Level French, A level Music. A Level Sociology

Reflections on Loreto: “Loreto was such a warm and inspiring environment in my college years that really allowed me to thrive. I always felt so involved, from competing in the National Bar Mock Trial in London with the Law Society, to acting as a tutor in the Sociology department, and finally being able to get involved with a huge amount of musical ensembles like the jazz band and the annual musicals. I was constantly challenged there and I never for a second doubted that my teachers were always looking out for me in all of my classes.”

After Loreto:

“Since leaving I have been studying for a Law LLB degree at the University of Leeds. I’m actually on a study abroad year right now where I have been studying at university called KU Leuven in Belgium, which has allowed me to practice my French and Dutch and make loads of international connections. As for career ideas, I am hoping to train as a public lawyer, which essentially means a lawyer who either works for and advises the government/local councils on the legal implications of their decisions, or on the flip side a lawyer who challenges government decisions for individuals whose rights are impacted”

Sabrina - Class of 2024

Subjects Studied at Loreto: A Level Italian, A Level French, A Level Law

Reflections on Loreto: “My two years in Loreto have truly shaped me for the better and provided me with experiences I’ll always cherish. I have enjoyed every moment, especially my Italian classes, which has shaped me in a more analytical and mature young woman, far more than I ever expected, and those two years will always hold a special place in my heart”.

After Loreto:

“After Loreto, I joined the University of Salford to study an LLB in Law. In addition to her studies, I had the opportunity to work in a firm’s clinical negligence department, where I drafted letters of claim to defendants and several legal documents. At the moment, I am also a volunteer tutor, helping several students with low-income households across Greater Manchester to achieve better grades in their English and Italian GCSEs”.

Wayne - Class of 2011

Subjects Studied at Loreto: A Level Theology, A Level Economics, A Level Geography, A Level Law

Reflections on Loreto:

“Studying Theology at Loreto gave me the foundation for everything that followed. It taught me to critically analyse issues from multiple perspectives not just to understand what the law is, but to question what it ought to be. Indeed, the reasoning & writing skills gained from studying Theology remain with me today & provide the groundwork for Jurisprudence or the Philosophy of Law & much more beyond this.”

After Loreto:

Since leaving Loreto College, have built a career at the intersection of law, education, & public policy.

Went on to study Law at the University of Manchester completing both undergraduate & postgraduate degrees before progressing into academia at the University of Leeds, School of Law. There, I taught key areas, including Public Law, European Union Law, & Jurisprudence, helping students engage with the practical & philosophical dimensions of law.

Alongside my academic work, I also served as a Policy Assistant for a Member of Parliament, contributing to policy development & supporting constituents on issues of public importance. This also led to becoming the Development Manager for a ‘Peace Education Programme’ with an international charity, that has special consultative status with UN ECOSOC, aimed at finding commonalities between British & Abrahamic (religious) values as well as successfully completing the UN Graduate Study Programme in Geneva, Switzerland.

Since October 2021, I returned to the University of Manchester as a Senior Tutor in Law, where I lead on academic advising policy supporting students to thrive & shaping the future of legal education as well as continue to contribute to teaching & learning by serving as a Lecturer in the areas of Public Law & Economics;

Reflections on Loreto:

“I had an incredible time at Loreto, and my two years there hold some of my fondest memories.
