Loretto has record roll

SCOTLAND’S oldest boarding school is celebrating an increase in the number of pupils on its roll.

Loretto School in Musselburgh has a full school roll for the new academic year after an 18 per cent increase in new pupils this month, taking the total school roll to 635 – the highest it has ever been in Loretto’s 185 year history.

Jonathan Hewat, Director of External Affairs at Loretto, said: “We have no plans to increase the size of Loretto.”
