At LVS Ascot, the co-curricular programme runs alongside the curriculum; challenging and stretching all students, enabling each and every child the chance to learn new skills and develop existing talents. Our LVS4 programme is an integrated activity session in the middle of the school day and provides a fun-packed and vibrant programme of activities.
Our 250-seat capacity professional theatre is home to our Performing Arts Department. From Years 3-9, all students experience two hours a week of drama, dancing, singing and music – with music, dance and drama being offered at both GCSE and A-Level. Dance and music are delivered throughout Reception to Year 2 as part of the curriculum, and provide a great foundation to the more demanding performing arts programme from Year 3 onwards.
Our productions are extensive and fully supported by a professional team of theatre managers, lighting and sound design engineers and, of course, our highly trained team of actors, dancers and musicians. From plays to musical theatre, there is never a dull moment in this department. Annually, LVS Ascot’s Performing Arts Festival hosts hundreds of young people from Berkshire and surrounding counties, who take part in a week-long extravaganza, coming together to perform in all categories to notable adjudicators. This amazing department were recent finalists in the Music and Drama Education Awards category of ‘Outstanding School Drama Department’.
Our award-winning sports programme is extensive and provides opportunities for all students no matter their ability. We offer a range of traditional sports such as rugby, cricket, football, swimming, netball, tennis and hockey where we compete at national levels and have a strong record of achievement. As well as traditional sports, we also offer handball, basketball, horse-riding and Teqball, where our achievements are equally impressive. LVS Ascot hosts annual national ISA Schools tournaments as well as offering high-profile sport tours both in the UK and abroad, and specialist highly-able programmes with local and regional clubs.
As well as curriculum sports, athletics, swimming and PE, our co-curricular and fixture programme from Year 3 upwards enables all students to take part in competitive sport throughout the week and, for Senior School students, Saturday mornings.
