LVS Ascot: Reception

LVS Ascot is an independent co-educational school in Ascot, Berkshire. We are an ‘all-through’ school, from Reception Class to Sixth Form. This ensures a consistency of education, environment and friendship groups.

Many of our Sixth Formers, that have subsequently gone on to university, started out in our Reception Class.  Non-selective and inclusive, we lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning, setting your child on a path to success from the very start.

LVS Ascot’s Infant and Junior School shares the same beautiful campus as our Senior School and Sixth form, but it also enjoys its own secure and gated area of the grounds.

Our small class sizes ensure many warm and caring relationships are built in those early years. Our teachers are all qualified Primary practitioners who focus on ensuring that children begin their formal education in a happy, positive and very well-resourced environment.

“In the early years, adult support enables the development of positive attitudes. Teachers have high expectations for the children’s learning and development, with effective strategies in place providing a good balance of activities such as reading stories and role play. These are planned to ensure successful outcomes, providing the children with a well-earned sense of achievement and pride and a positive start to their school career.”

Reception Curriculum

At LVS we pride ourselves on our caring and nurturing environment based on mutual respect and kindness, ensuring all children have an equal chance of success.

Our staff are experienced, well qualified and understand the importance of a child centred approach to learning. Our engaging and stimulating cross curricula environment ensures all children can thrive.

We put the children’s interests at the heart of our planning, encouraging independence and risk taking.

We encourage our children to be active learners, to take risks and develop critical thinking.

We place a strong emphasis on literacy, through our Sounds-Write phonics programme and Talk4Writing.

These schemes, along with a language rich environment full of opportunities to further develop literacy skills, ensure we consistently achieve high standards in reading and early writing.

A practical, hands on, approach to learning mathematics ensures children develop a secure sense understanding and application. This is enhanced through White Rose Education. Specialist teachers are involved in furthering the children’s learning and experiences through lessons in Spanish, Games, PE, Music, Forest School, Dance, and Swimming.

We aim to nurture a life-long love of learning through our curricular and co-curricular experiences. All of this, along with our outstanding facilities help to develop happy, resilient, and well-rounded children who will be ready for the future, in an ever-changing world.

Pastoral care at LVS Ascot ensures that each child is given individual support, while being stretched and challenged in order for them to reach their full potential.

LVS Ascot offers a dedicated induction programme throughout the year prior to starting in Reception. We work in close partnership with parents as we understand the importance of working together to provide the best outcomes for each of our children.

Learning Environment

Our classroom allows for free flow between the outside area and insides classroom, so students can make independent choices regarding their learning environment, demonstrating that academics are not solely associated with the more traditional classroom setup.

Students have use of the Theatre, Swimming Pool, Dining Hall and more located in the Senior School.
