LVS Ascot is a private, co-educational, day and boarding school for pupils aged 4 to 18, situated near Ascot in the English county of Berkshire. It is operated by the Licensed Trade Charity, and parents who work in the licensed drinks trade receive a 20% discount on fees.[1]
Founded in 1803 by the Society of Licensed Victuallers (now operating as the Licensed Trade Charity), the school was originally situated in Kennington, London.[2] As industrialization advanced, the school lost its "wholesome and airy environment", and so in 1922 left the city for a site in Slough. The same concern caused the school to move to its current home in Ascot in 1989.[3] LVS Ascot was formerly known as Licensed Victuallers' School.
LVS Ascot is set in 25acres of land within Ascot,[4] on the site formerly occupied by Heatherdown Preparatory School. The Queen was the school's patron. The school's 900 pupils,[5] of which some 200 are boarders,[6] are split into four houses: Boarders, Bell's, Courage, and Whitbread.[7] Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, a 300-seat theatre, a recording studio, a sports centre, a gym, and a rock-climbing wall.[8] A new all-weather sports pitch was opened by Olympic hockey medallist Sarah Thomas in 2014.[9]
