Shared heritage

Both schools trace their origins to the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, founded by Mary Ward in 1609. The Loreto network extends across six continents.

Choosing between the two

Families are welcome to visit both schools. Choosing Queenswood for primary does not close the door to Loreto for high school — and vice versa.
