Principal, Michael Jaffrain said:
“Today marks a new beginning for our Upper Sixth students as they move on to their chosen next steps, they have shown courage, resilience and excellence through their studies and should be incredibly proud of their achievements. I would like to thank the entire Loreto staff community for their support, professionalism and expertise to provide the best possible educational experience, despite the unprecedented challenges that they have been faced with over the last 18 months. We wish our students all the very best and remind them that they will always be part of a very special community at Loreto”
Oxbridge news 2021
This year 20 Loreto College students have had their places confirmed by the top two universities in the world: University of Oxford and University of Cambridge. Students will be reading a range of subjects including Medicine, English, Engineering, French & Linguistics, Maths, Biochemistry, Land Economy and Philosophy.
The successful students come to Loreto from a variety of non-selective, state inner-city high schools from across the region, including Salford, Stockport, High Peak, and Manchester. Those with Oxbridge potential are identified by GCSE results and academic performance once they arrive. They are then offered a bespoke programme designed to develop students’ debating and thinking skills, whilst providing insight into, and knowledge of, the application process.
Medics, Dentists and Vets 2021
56 Loreto College students have been offered places on medical or dentistry or veterinary degree courses. They are given rigorous interview preparation with a strong emphasis on the scientific aspects of the various courses and career paths, as well as being encouraged to engage in broader reading, to consider ethical issues and participate in debates. The college has developed superb connections with the community outside Loreto, ensuring that students are involved in summer schools, conferences, visits and forums, and take full advantage of opportunities presented by leadership and research projects, locally and internationally.
