Overview

Junior, senior and sixth-form pupils at LVS Ascot share a single 4-19 community, making the move from GCSE years into post-16 study part of one continuous day-and-boarding route. Co-educational since its 1940 opening, the setting keeps older pupils within the same wider campus rather than sending them to a separate sixth-form centre.

GCSE courses anchor the senior years, while the Sixth Form offers A levels, an Extended Project Qualification and named Oxbridge and Medical Pathways. Sport, music, drama and dance run alongside houses and co-curricular activity, so performance, competition and organised activity have a clear place in the week as well as in the curriculum.

Boarding sits within that shared community rather than apart from it. Day pupils, boarders and sixth-formers use the same senior structure, which matters for applicants weighing a residential pattern against a daily journey while keeping the same academic progression.

Visits, fees, scholarships and applications have dedicated admissions information. The practical choice is the intended entry year and its assessment route, followed by the relevant arrangements for a day or boarding place; the senior and sixth-form offer is not split between separate institutions.
