LVS Ascot is a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Centre and provides all students from Year 9 upwards the opportunity to take part in Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. Termly expeditions take place in the Brecon Beacons and New Forest. Notably our LiVeS week, which takes place towards the end of the summer term in the Senior School, affords all students the chance to take part in off-timetable activities and exciting adventures at home and abroad, as well as sports tours and performing arts tours. In the Infant and Junior School all children from Years 2-6 experience a residential trip and all children experience a variety of day trips, visiting speakers and themed weeks to bring their learning to life.

We are a competitive school and enjoy the challenge of taking part in Independent Schools Association (ISA) and other national competitions, not just in sport and performing arts but in other areas such as debating. LVS Ascot won the ISA Debating National Championship in 2022.
