Loreto College is a sixth form college in Hulme, Manchester, England which caters primarily for Roman Catholics in the 16-18 age range. The key values derive from the educational philosophy of Mary Ward, a 16th-century Englishwoman, who founded the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the order of nuns who started the college in 1851.
During Ofsted's inspection in 2010, Loreto was adjudged to be "Outstanding in every respect" with a Grade 1 rating in all the inspection criteria which only Runshaw College in nearby Leyland has equalled.
The school is situated on the western edge of Manchester, next to Trafford and St Mary's Church in Hulme. It is accessed via Princess Road, the A5103.
The college campus was redeveloped from 2002 to 2014 when four buildings were constructed. The campus has two smaller buildings, the Chapel which is home to the Art and Design Department and a Sports Hall. Most of learning faculties are situated in the four main buildings on the campus.
