LVS Ascot Boarding Community
As an independent school, LVS Ascot offers excellent boarding for boys and girls aged 7 and above, within our comfortable and extensive facilities in Ascot, Berkshire. The school is near to Windsor and is easily accessible from London, Heathrow and Gatwick airports, ensuring our boarders come from a range of backgrounds in the UK and internationally.
The aim of boarding at LVS Ascot is to develop the whole person, physically, spiritually, intellectually, morally, socially and emotionally in an atmosphere of positive encouragement. With this in mind, modern accommodation combined with a strong team of residential staff, headed up by Mr Ciarán Cunningham-Watson, Deputy Head Pastoral, provide safe and supportive surroundings for today’s young boarders.
A full range of activities and outingskeep students happy and entertained during the evenings and weekends. LVS Boarding compliments the school’s educational ethos of developing caring confident citizens for the future.
