Why LVS Ascot?
Our Mission
“Our son feels totally secure, he loves the sense of community, belonging and loyalty.” Jules & Sammy Sampson, Parents
Our school’s mission is embedded in our history and values. We want to develop each and every one of our students to be able to reflect on the past in order to embrace the challenges of the future.
Your child will be encouraged to be resilient, inquisitive and creative in everything they set out to do.
Ultimately, we want your child to be happy and healthy. We structure everything we do around achieving this goal.
Academic Achievement
LVS Ascot is a proud non-selective school for boys and girls which delivers exceptional academic and personal outcomes for our diverse student body.
We have no entrance exam and students can join at any time of year.
We embrace the belief that every student can achieve academic excellence. Our small class sizes ensure that your child receives the attention, teaching and support they require to develop academically.
We also have specific academic pathways for those looking at Oxbridge progression or careers in medicine.
We create confident, ambitious learners equipped to thrive in a rapidly changing world, making LVS Ascot a truly future-focused school.
Happy and Secure
We have a safe and secure campus on 26 acres of parkland, this includes our four boarding houses. Our pastoral care, co-curricular activities and highly experienced teaching staff all ensure your child remains happy and motivated to learn. This is embodied in our aims for our students:
- To reflect on the past to embrace the challenge of the future
- To be resilient, inquisitive and creative
- To be happy and healthy
- To live with integrity, empathy and humility
- To be courageous, bold and robust in our endeavours

A Stable Future With a Rich Heritage
We are proud of our heritage in educating boys and girls since 1803, and the good work we do via our charity. We are also proud to have had HM the Queen as our Patron, until her death, and we now have HM King Charles III as our new Royal Patron.
Our longevity and robustness, via being managed by a centuries-old and well-resourced charity, has given our school financial stability through many troubled times from the Napoleonic Wars through to Covid-19. This has always made us a safe investment for a child’s ongoing education.
