Flexible Provision
We recognise the need to offer flexibility in our provision, to meet the demands of modern family life. Our Enrichment Programme enables pupils to stay until 17:30 from Monday to Thursday each week. Most activities are included within the school fees.
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.

Pastoral Care
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.
DiscoverHouse Competition
We have four Houses at Luckley; Blake, Cornish, Galloway and Randle, named after former Heads of the School. All pupils are allocated to a House when they join the school and remain in that House throughout their time at Luckley. House competitions take place throughout the year, including sports tournaments, music competitions, House Bake-off, Debating, Reading Challenge and the popular Christmas Cracker pantomime.
Menus
Healthy eating is on the menu at Luckley. Our dedicated catering team provides nutritious, varied and tasty meals throughout the year. Vegetarian and vegan options are always available and special dietary requirements are easily catered for.
DiscoverSchool Transport
We have partnered with Vectare, a specialist school transport management company, to provide you with a dedicated booking website for school transport.
