Life as a Boarder

Working with LVS boarding has been an absolute delight, we are always kept well informed and it is very easy to approach any of the houses with any concerns. Staff are exceptional and provide the children with excellent activities on the weekends and quickly resolve any problems that the children may have. Thank you all

Boarding at LVS Ascot has been a rewarding & developmental experience for our son with many positive & happy times to look back on. The teaching & pastoral care is set at just the right level to encourage self development, independence & confident learning. We cannot thank enough the house masters & teachers at LVS Ascot .. you make the difference every time.

We feel very lucky to have found boarding at LVS Ascot. It has given our son and our daughter the chance for a wonderful stable education with amazing opportunities, brilliant supportive staff and lifelong friendships.

LVS has provided our son with a perfect mix of pastoral and educational encouragement, guidance and structure which has really helped him to develop and grow into a confident, capable and engaging young person.  We love the fact that the staff have spared no effort in getting to know him and his needs in and out of the classroom; their communication, approachability and openness to us as parents have made us feel involved and part of the LVS community every step of the way.  Our son feels totally secure, at home and loves the sense of community, belonging and loyalty in his house; to be entrusted to take on leadership and responsibility roles has been a real high point for him.  We know that our son’s full potential will be unlocked by LVS and very highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a brilliant school for their child

Our three children are spread across three boarding Houses at LVS, but each feel at home and thoroughly enjoy the LVS boarding community. All the LVS boarding staff are fantastic as one team - supporting and guiding our children, and making boarding life the fun it should be. We can’t recommend boarding at LVS more highly!

It is not easy sending your children away to school - but I needn't have worried.  My son was so happy and busy he didn't contact me for at least two weeks!  He flourished in the boarding community and turned from someone who had lost his confidence to an independent, happy and confident young man.  My daughter has also had a wonderful experience - she was a girl that would not leave my side and got homesick easily, the school was amazing and she never looked back.  She is off to Ecuador next year - this simply would not have happened if she did not go LVS and boarded.  Thank you to the whole LVS boarding staff team.

We have worked with LVS for many years as educational guardians for international students so are aware of what a supportive, well organised LVS Boarding staff were, but we are still surprise at the way they are always available to support their international students 24x7. Well done to you all, happy children happy parents.

Our son was lucky enough to be awarded a generous, full boarding bursary to LVS Ascot from year 9 & duly joined Kew House. He had a wonderful year getting to know the school, making new friends & working towards a more independent way of living in the boarding house. Fast forward to the end of Year 11, & two great years at Hampton House, sees our son leaving LVS with some fantastic memories. Being a part of the strong network that is life as a boarding student has taught him to make his own decisions, manage his time & thrive as a young man. Being a house prefect gave him confidence & the valuable lesson of shouldering responsibilities. Our son has come away equipped to take on college with networking skills, a team player attitude & the ability to look after himself.
