Luke Pendle was a student at Waterloo Road. He was the boyfriend of Siobhan Mailey and the best friend of Josh Stevenson. Luke joined the school following the merger with local private school, John Fosters.

He is popular and good-looking but his funny-guy persona is hiding a secret about his background that even his girlfriend Siobhan doesn't know - he lives in a care home. Knowing Siobhan is from a well-off family with pretty outspoken views, Luke has been careful to keep his background a secret - making sure he always walks Siobhan home and fobbing off any suggestion of going back to his. He dreads the thought of his secret coming out, and how Siobhan will react.

Siobhan doesn't seem to care about his background, and after one very interesting day they sort things out.

In Series 5 Episode 4, after being punished by Max Tyler, he steals Max's car keys and crashes his car into the community garden the students had been building. Max plans to have Luke arrested but changes his mind after Kim Campbell convinces him that it would ruin Luke's future.

In Series 5 Episode 8 he feels pushed to the side by Siobhan, who spends most of her time with her best friend Amy. Later however, Siobhan, angry at Amy after she humiliates Helen Hopewell, promises to spend more time with just Luke.

Luke can also play the guitar and he performs 'Wonderwall' by Oasis with his best friend Josh Stevenson at the Waterloo Road talent show in Series 5 Episode 10.

He does not return for any episodes following this - it is mentioned that he and his girlfriend had broken up. Luke may have finished school due to being in Year 11 or moved away.
