Loreto High School Beaufort is a voluntary 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]
