LVS Ascot is a co-educational, non-selective, independent school offering day and boarding places to children aged 4 – 19 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 the late Queen was the patron of LVS Ascot.
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.
