We are all saddened at Luckley House School to hear the news about St Joseph’s College and would like to express our deepest sympathy.
We understand that this is devastating news for the whole school community. The team at Luckley house is working closely with the leadership team at SJCR to provide a solution that offers stability and continuity for pupils affected by these circumstances. Our focus remains firmly on the children, with their well-being and education at the centre of everything we do.
Luckley House School is a remarkably caring community, where kindness and acceptance of each individual’s uniqueness are at the heart of school life. We take great care to ensure that every child feels safe, supported and valued, and we are experienced in helping students settle successfully into a new environment. We believe we can provide a smooth and positive transition for your child into our community.
