The two schools were amalgamated on the Wokingham site in 1959 as an independent educational trust regulated by the Charity Commissioners. In September 2015 Luckley House became co-educational.
There are four houses at Luckley: Cornish (red), Blake (blue), Galloway (green), Randle (yellow). There are house events throughout the year, which include the Sports Day, Junior and Senior Rounders, Tennis, Netball, Badminton, Hockey, House Bake-Off, Reading Challenge, quiz, and the House Music Competition. Each event contributes points towards the end of year House Cup and the winners go on a House outing at the end of the summer term.
Luckley House has its own professional working theatre, The Whitty Theatre. The Whitty Theatre gives pupils at Luckley House School a chance to perform and learn in a professional theatre environment, and also provides a range of entertainment for the local community and beyond.
