Our Lady Of Loretto Primary is part of the St Peter the Apostle High School Learning Community and the catchment area takes in Old Kilpatrick, Dalmuir and Mountblow. The school serves the two Parishes of St Stephen’s, Dalmuir and St Patrick’s, Old Kilpatrick.

Our Lady of Loretto is accommodated within a two storey building (1974) and is equipped with disabled ramps and a disabled toilet located on the ground floor. There are 10 classrooms organised around 3 open areas.  Part of the school building was recently refurbished to incorporate an Early Learning and Childcare Centre (ELC) for children aged 3 – 5 years.

Playground facilities are such that P1–P3 and P4-P7 have their own separate playgrounds with adult supervision during interval and lunch breaks. P4–P7, as well as their playground, also have the use of a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA).

We communicate regularly with parents through newsletters, flyers, social media and the school website and when appropriate by letter, email and text. We arrange a variety of opportunities for parents to be involved in the life of the school. We are also happy to arrange appointments to discuss any aspect of your child’s education and wellbeing if this is required.

We have a range of policies for different aspects of school life, and copies are available from the school office.  Parents can find a range of council policies and other relevant information about schools on the council website at
