We are Loreto Balbriggan.

Welcome to our website. We hope that by exploring the site you will have some sense of the spirit of our great school. Situated directly by the sea, Loreto Secondary School, Balbriggan is a Catholic girls’ secondary school. In the spirit of Mary Ward we aim to develop all the abilities of our students in order that they realise their full potential and use their talents for the service of others. We also aim to encourage self-confidence and self-esteem in a happy atmosphere and structured environment. The school community, collaborating together in mutual respect, strives for holistic excellence.

Our Campus

Situated by the sea, on a campus which boasts facilities second to none, Loreto Secondary School Balbriggan is proud of its reputation as one of the finest schools in the country. We aim to create a happy and safe environment which enriches the life of every student and creates the possibilities for her to reach her full potential. There are carefully developed and monitored systems in place to ensure that each student feels a sense of belonging and wellbeing in the school community.

The School Day

Students attend from 9.10am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 9.10 to 1.20 on a Wednesday. Students may not be absent from school or leave school early except in the case of illness or with permission obtained from the school. In the case of absence, parents/guardians must, upon their daughter's return to the school, communicate the reasons for her absence, via Compass Chronicle.
