This is not just about our syllabus, but it’s about creating an environment that seeks to open minds by promoting independence and entrepreneurship, and by inspiring individuals to problem solve and think ‘out of the box’. We do this by applying topics to real life scenarios, which adds relevance to learning and provides a holistic and worldly perspective on how we use this knowledge to benefit the world we live in – now and in the future. We want our children to leave our school equipped with the skills to really make a difference to the world they live in.

LVS Ascot is what we call a blended learning school. This means that we embrace technology as a tangible and integral part of the learning process for all students.

Every child across the school uses digital devices to access the Microsoft 365 world of wonder. Our teachers are the face of the class but they use technology to deliver personalised learning, to enable every child to explore and develop in their own individualised way. As adults, we know that everyone learns differently and a one-size-fits-all approach is not effective. If anything, it can be destructive. Our way is to engender curiosity, the confidence to question and explore, and the means to help even the youngest child navigate their way using a range of tools, including a suite of Microsoft qualifications. These tools help individuals become proficient in real-world skills.

Our staff also benefit from continuous professional development. For instance, many have gained the highest Microsoft qualifications and, as a result, we are a Microsoft Showcase school. In December 2022, we were finalists in the National Schools Awards EdTech category for ‘EdTech Innovator of the Year Award’. We were one of only three finalists nationally and LVS Ascot was the only independent school in the final in this category.
