History

Founded in 1803 by the Society of Licensed Victuallers (now operating as the Licensed Trade Charity), the school was originally situated in Kennington, London. [2] As industrialization advanced, the school lost its "wholesome and airy environment", and so in 1922 left the city for a site in Slough. The same concern caused the school to move to its current home in Ascot in 1989. [3] LVS Ascot was formerly known as Licensed Victuallers' School.

Today

LVS Ascot is set in 25 acres (100,000 m2) of land within Ascot, [4] on the site formerly occupied by Heatherdown Preparatory School. The Queen was the school's patron. The school's 900 pupils, [5] of which some 200 are boarders, [6] are split into four houses: Boarders, Bell's, Courage, and Whitbread. [7] Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, a 300-seat theatre, a recording studio, a sports centre, a gym, and a rock-climbing wall. [8] A new all-weather sports pitch was opened by Olympic hockey medallist Sarah Thomas in 2014. [9]
