17 Loreto students have secured places to study at Oxford and Cambridge University from September after successfully meeting their very demanding offers for a place at one of these prestigious institutions.

The successful students came to Loreto Sixth Form College from a range   of high schools  in  Manchester, Salford, Stockport and Oldham.

Year on year, Loreto graduates go head to head with thousands of applicants from all over the globe and succeed. This achievement is no easy feat, it requires an extensive amount of work and commitment from students as well as support from Loreto staff.Students with ” Oxbridge ” potential at Loreto are offered a bespoke programme designed to develop each student`s debating and thinking skills by an  in-house team of specialist teachers  who  have decades of experience preparing students  for  their December  Entrance Examinations and intensive selection  interviews. Academic staff from both Universities regularly visit Loreto to deliver subject specific classes and application seminars.
