Hi! I've just started Year 13 at Loreto.
Firstly, I didn't go to a partner school, and I don't think it matters too much. Lots of people here aren't from partner schools.
Also, you don't have to be Catholic to go-Catholic students do get some form of priority but a lot of students here are of other faiths/no faith, so not being Catholic definitely shouldn't put you off!
As for your predicted grades, wow they're amazing :smile:. I think it depends on what subjects you want to-I don't do them but sciences have higher entrance requirements than humanities (what I do)-so maybe look on the website.

hope this helps x

Hi, things did not go my way unfortunately. I was later rejected by Xaverian as to not having the grades. I did a total of 9 GCSE’s of which i passed 5.

Passed:
Biology: 4
Maths: 5
History: 5
English Literature: 5
English Language: 6

Failed:
Business: 2
Chemistry: 3
Physics: 3
Geography: 3

Luckily, Connell co-op college were very kind and gave me a place. I am currently studying Law, Business and Statistics A-levels, hopefully pursuing a successful career in law.

Hi i am in y11 and in worried as i have not heard back from loreto regarding if they have received my application or not and all my friends have got the confirmation post and email. Was wondering when did u get the confirmation mail and the offer like which month. Thanks
I received postcards from both Loreto and Xaverian in January. A week after Xaverian’s postcard came, i had an offer letter, while Loreto provided a waiting list letter in late February. I hope this information is helpful.
