Loreto High School Beaufort is a fee-paying roman catholic secondary school for girls located on the grounds of Beaufort House on Grange Road in Rathfarnham, South Dublin. It is across the street from Loreto Abbey. [2]
Mother Frances Deasey bought Beaufort House in 1925. It became Beaufort Domestic Science College, with the ancillary buildings forming a kindergarten and junior school. A senior school building was added in 1952, and an extension including an assembly hall in 1975. The kindergarten and junior school were phased out in the 1990s. [3]
South Dublin County Council greenlit a two-storey extension in 2017. [4]
Loreto High School Beaufort offers a variety of sports including Hockey, Basketball and Camogie, with successful Leinster wins throughout the years. The school has a strong hockey tradition with 2 hockey pitches, the main pitch is water-based grade, whilst the second pitch is half-size.
