School Life

Life at Luckley offers an extraordinary breadth of opportunity – the chance to try many different things, to find a passion, or develop a special interest. We stretch and challenge our pupils, at the same time encouraging the ability to reflect and take onboard the constructive advice of others.

A number of additional options are also available to enable parents and carers to drop off and pick up pupils at times to suit their daily commitments.

Luckley House enjoys a reputation for high standards of pastoral care. All pupils have daily contact with their Form Tutor, who takes a close interest in their academic and social welfare. Regular meetings with the Heads of Sections and Deputy Heads provide a forum for all staff to discuss the individual progress of each child.
