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.
