ISI Report
ISI Report December 2024
We are pleased to share the outcome of our recent Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection.
This is an important process that provides a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of education and care at Luckley House. The Inspection Team thoroughly reviewed various aspects of our school’s performance, from teaching and learning to pastoral care, facilities and leadership and governance.
The outcomes highlight the dedication and hard work of our outstanding staff and our wonderful students. We are especially pleased that the inspectors were able to identify that Luckley is an environment that espouses its core values of love and service and that they also recognised the strength of our community and our focus on the individual:
“a sense of community pervades the School and gives it a particular character, in which pupils can feel comfortable and confident to develop their own individuality”
Material Change Inspection Report 2024
Following the visit from an ISI Inspector in July 2024, we are pleased to report that the School has met all of the required criteria of the inspection and we are delighted with the outcome of an increase in our permitted number of pupils on roll to 425. As this is a report regarding compliance there are no qualitative judgements expected or noted. We still await our full inspection in the next academic year. This material change will put us in a strong position to grow and develop Luckley House School in the future.

Luckley House School underwent a full ISI inspection in January. We are delighted to announce that the report was extremely positive and highlighted several key areas of school life in which the school particularly excels. As with all these reports, there are a couple of areas for us to concentrate on developing over the coming months.
The School meets the standards in the schedule for the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, the National Minimum Standards for Boarding Schools 2015 and associated requirement and no further action is required as a result of this inspection.
