School Description

Pupils talk with passion about the difference the school makes to their lives. They appreciate staff taking the time to understand their special educational needs and/or disabilities, and getting to know them as individuals. After significant breaks in their education prior to joining the school, pupils thrive at The Luccombe Hub. Pupils learn to recognise their emotions through a range of therapies. For example, they learn how to be calm and care for others in their work with horses and farm animals. Pupils say the therapies on offer ‘allow us to focus on our learning’. There are clear routines and expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Bullying is not tolerated. The school’s enterprise project ensures that pupils learn important life skills such as cooking and managing money. Pupils work with community members to sell their products in shops and at local events. They show determination to complete learning activities. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education or employment. Parents and carers are extremely happy with the support their children receive. They describe the school as being ‘an incredibly caring and nurturing environment’. Parents say their children’s improved mental health and well-being positively impact their family life.

The Luccombe Hub Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK. Contact the school directly or visit their website for more information on Admissions Policy and Procedures.
