We offer a boarding package for international students wishing to come to Luckley for a minimum of one term into Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12, to improve their English language and experience a British education.

EAL Provision

One hour per week to include conversational group lessons geared around general everyday and academic English, and if required, 1:1 sessions for focusing on writing and grammar.

Boarding Experience

Pupils will share a bedroom with at least one other boarder. Wherever possible we will ensure that pupils of the same nationality are not sharing so as to encourage English language speaking. There are shared common rooms for all boarders to relax and socialise together during their free time.
