Luckley House School
Wokingham, Berkshire
Luckley House is a warm and welcoming school. We are a community, small enough at around 350 pupils for everyone to be seen, valued and counted, but large enough to provide a wide variety of academic, sport and creative opportunities. We are a co-educational school with the privilege of educating boys and girls from Year 7 through to Year 13, with both day and boarding places on offer. Our uniqueness lies in the combination of our size, Christian ethos and flexibility to meet the needs of individual pupils and their families.

Every single school takes huge pride in the top performers in every cohort of young people. In late August we become preoccupied by how many A and A* grades have been achieved by groups of pupils across the country, at both A Level and GCSE level. It is good to applaud the efforts of those young people and to admire their achievements. I am sure we will always look up to those who have achieved high academic results, in much the same way we enjoy seeing elite sports people and enjoy the performances of accomplished actors and musicians.

Strengths at Luckley House School
Luckley House is a welcoming and inclusive school that provides a nurturing environment where pupils are encouraged to achieve their full potential academically, socially and personally. The school’s strengths include its strong sense of community, high-quality pastoral care, and commitment to developing confident, well-rounded individuals.
SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) Support
At Luckley, we offer outstanding support for neurodiverse students, with our Learning Support Department dedicated to enhancing opportunities and success for pupils with learning differences through specialised assistance. Additionally, we provide tailored Study Skills courses for both GCSE and A Level students, designed to foster independent learning, motivation, and effective self-organization. We embrace the use of assistive technology, and for those pupils who meet the examination boards’ criteria, we can facilitate a range of Access Arrangements. Whole school literacy screening with the Lucid Exact online screening tool, together with in-house assessment carried out by specialist assessors, ensures that we have a full and detailed picture of any pupil’s individual needs, as they progress through Luckley House. The overall aim of The Learning Support Department is to encourage self-belief, promote independent learning and celebrate neurodivergent thinking. With the right support, skills, and strategies we are confident that our learners will be empowered to succeed not just at school or university, but in the workplace and adult life.
Faith-Based Ethos
Luckley House is built on the values of love and service and aims to equip pupils to live their lives well. Our mission is to provide a Christian education characterised by academic excellence, a rich and diverse range of opportunity, aspiration and enthusiasm for life, and generosity of spirit. Luckley House School is designated Church of England, Evangelical under the Designation of Schools Having a Religious Character (Independent Schools) (England) (No.2) Order 2004 and is closely linked with Church Society.
Wrap-Around Care
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. Option 1: Early Start – Drop your child off at 07:45 for breakfast – £6 per day (no VAT). Option 2: Supper – Your child can stay for enrichment activities and then join the boarders for supper until 18:30 – £7 per day (no VAT). Option 3: Twilight Care – Your child can stay for enrichment activities, then join the boarders for supper and supervised prep up until 20:30 – £27 per day (no VAT). Breakfast and Twilight care– £30 per day (no VAT). Flexi / Ad hoc boarding is also available at £60 (inc VAT) per night (subject to availability).
Drama
Our students have the luxury of performing in The Whitty Theatre, a stunning professional working theatre, complete with an industry-experienced Theatre Manager. This enables us to also offer Technical Stage Management at GCSE and A Level, in addition to Theatre Performance. This is fantastic for students who love the technical aspects of stage sound and lighting, rather than performance. With shows and plays each term, plus a plethora of visiting theatre company workshops and plays, there are so many opportunities to embrace the performing arts at Luckley.
Music
Music is a huge part of life at Luckley, with regular concerts, competitions and performances throughout the year. Music is taught in our state of the art Music Centre, where Music Technology is a popular subject at A Level, along with the traditional Music.
