LVS Ascot is a co-educational, non-selective, independent school offering day and boarding places to children aged 4 – 18 years. It is one of three schools owned and managed by the Licensed Trade Charity, which has a proud heritage, educating boys and girls since 1803 when the first Licensed Victualler’s School was set up. The School was granted a Royal Charter in 1836 and Her Majesty the Queen continues to be Patron of LVS Ascot to this day. LVS Ascot is set in a beautiful parkland, a vibrant hub with easy access to the M3, M4 and M25 motorways, as well as Heathrow and Gatwick airports. It offers a school bus service to collect and drop off students from the surrounding area and West London. The campus includes all infant & junior school, senior school and sixth form facilities as well as four boarding houses within a spacious 26 acre site. The School celebrates individuality and offers a rounded education that delivers academic rigor alongside sporting, performing and creative opportunities. LVS Ascot facilities include: infant & junior school environmental garden, indoor swimming pool, fully equipped 250 seater theatre with state of the art light and sound, learning resource centre, astro pitch and fitness centre. The Reception area encourages free-flow between the outside area and inside classroom, demonstrating that education is not solely associated with the more traditional classroom setup. The supportive and nurturing environment of Key Stage 1 allows the children to explore their individuality and develop responsibility within boundaries of good manners and respect for each other. Key Stage 2 is when pupils build upon previously learned skills, enabling students to become increasingly independent and confident learners. LVS Ascot’s highly-able Senior school students are supported in their studies through a combination of subject-specific unique breakaway classes and enrichment trips including motivational speakers. LVS Ascot Sixth Form offers small classes for focused studies and more student-teacher interaction in over 30 different A-level and BTEC courses. Careers advice is offered alongside the academic advice given on university course selection to help our students calmly navigate what can be a difficult crossroads. The majority of LVS Ascot Sixth Form students go straight to university, while others take a gap year or decide that work-based training will suit them better. Examples of co-curricular activities in the Infant & Junior school include sport, street dance, cooking, ballet and coding. There is a varied co-curricular programme within the Senior school across the four main areas of sport, drama, music and the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. Proud of its excellent academic & pastoral care, staff across the school work together to ensure that every student’s personal development is nurtured, believing that encouragement and support are essential to help young people become caring, confident citizens for the future. Income generated by the School is re-invested in the site, to offer the highest standard of educational and co-curricular facilities and is also used to fund the work of the Charity. Academic Scholarships and Bursaries are available, special discounts offered to HM Forces, Diplomats, those who work in the licensed trade and senior local academic staff.
