According to The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change paper on ‘How to Futureproof Education in England (August 2022), the country’s future success rests upon our ability to break away from the traditional, narrow methods currently used in education. Developing new and relevant skills throughout our curriculum that allow young people to flourish when they join what is an increasingly digital workplace is what we aim to do at LVS Ascot.

In LVS Ascot’s Infant and Junior School, students are encouraged and taught to embrace the 4C’s, through a number of Learning Values and Skills which we have embedded into our curriculum and co-curricular activities. These activities result in students being awarded the unique LVS Ascot Year 6 Diploma in the Summer term before they transition to Senior School. These learning values increase and expand into the Senior School, where students work towards the equivalent of the diploma, known as Colours.

We understand that Value Added – the measure by which we can monitor progress and attainment from a baseline starting point – is important. Our goal is to challenge each pupil to achieve at least one grade higher than their predicted scores and, year-on-year, our GCSE and A-Level results data prove that we do just that.

At LVS we succeed by inspiring our pupils to want to exceed all expectations and have the confidence to reach their desired destination at the end of their time at school. Whether that be studying for a degree at a Russell Group university or starting an excellent apprenticeship or other work-based training programme, our students reach their aspirational goals because they are well-rounded, confident and happy young adults equipped with the life skills needed in the modern world.
