A Child Centred Education

Every individual must be considered a person entitled to respect and understanding and be given the opportunity to develop to his or her fullest potential.

The King Alfred School aims to draw out the best in the individual child. It is the school’s belief that each child should be allowed to develop at his or her pace in an atmosphere that is free from fear, according to the principles of mutual respect and trust. The school places a strong emphasis on creative and active learning and on the value of play. It aims to provide a happy, compassionate environment in which the emotional, physical and social developments of the child are held in equal regard to academic progress.
