Loretto School, founded in 1827, is an independent boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 0 to 18. The campus occupies 85 acres (34 ha) in Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland.[2]

The school has been named among others, in the Scottish enquiry on historic sexual abuse. In 2023 Loretto School was sued by a former pupil for extensive sexual, emotional and physical abuse suffered in the 1990s mostly at the hands of older pupils. Loretto offered an unreserved apology and deep regret for abuse experienced by children under its care.
