Icknield High School is a secondary school for pupils aged 11 – 16 in Luton.^[1]

The school's head teacher is Katie Krumble.

It offers 19 courses to GCSE level and has an extensive Arts College which teaches 4 different art qualifications. These include:

3 Dimensional Art and Sculpture
Digital Imaging
Textiles
General Art & Design

In 2004, the school's policy on uniforms, which banned hijabs, came up for review by the school governors after Luton Borough Council pointed out that the ban might breach the Race Relations Act.^[2]
