A private school in Trafford has announced it is to close at the end of the current academic year as it is 'no longer viable.' Loreto Preparatory School in Altrincham is an independent Catholic primary school for girls aged from three to 11.
It was historically part of the neighbouring Loreto Grammar School but in 1972 moved to its current site on Dunham Road and became established as a separate school with its own governing body.
The school which is run under the trusteeship of the Loreto Sisters, and where yearly fees are currently £2,750 per term, has 120 pupils. However, they will now have to find places at alternative schools after bosses announced it would be closing its doors for good at the end of the current academic year.
