Boarding

LVS Ascot boasts four fabulous modern and comfortable boarding houses, each named after a royal palace: Kew, Blenheim, Hampton and Osborne, and celebrates our close links with our royal patronage that we have been afforded for over 200 years.

Hampton (boys) and Osborne (girls) are home to students from the ages of 10 to 16 (Years 6 to 11). Both houses have a Housemaster / Mistress, a Senior House Assistant and a Graduate Boarding Assistant. Non-resident tutors are also attached to each house, providing a home-from-home in bright and airy living accommodation, each with its unique characteristics that the students help to develop in their house.

For students aged 16 and over (Years 12-13) we offer dedicated sixth form boarding houses: Blenheim House for boys and Kew House for girls. Accommodation for sixth form students provides the independence and sophistication older students desire, while providing the same level of safeguarding as the younger houses, but with a range of activities more suited to their ages and interests.

The benefits of boarding are unbounding, not least for academic achievement. Boarding students have academic staff available to them in the evenings during prep sessions / homework, and there is a plethora of co-curricular activities in the evenings and at the weekends. Having the run of the school after hours gives students the chance to exploit our facilities, as well as saving on time travelling to and from school.

Being located close to London, Windsor and Reading, our weekend activities embrace English culture, as well as the not so cultural activities of shopping trips, theme parks and other days out and events. For international students, our location is only 20 minutes from Heathrow airport.
