Welcome to
The King Alfred School
At the heart of King Alfred’s philosophy is our child centred approach. This has been the practice here since 1898 when the school opened, and remains equally true today. We appreciate that every child is unique and has their own set of strengths, attributes and areas to develop.
The PE department challenged the Y8 students to see who could do the most keepy-ups with a loo roll. Thanks to Wilson for demonstrating (and putting his science folder to an alternative use!)

"As a year group there's a real sense of togetherness in the Sixth Form and I've been able to meet new friends and enjoy getting to know people from outside my subject groups."

“The aim is to allow children to grow chiefly through their own efforts, and more or less at their own temperamental pace, into their own image.”
John Russell, KAS Head 1901-1920
Space to Grow
The village green setting of the main school site contributes to the community feeling with Lower School classrooms all opening out directly onto the play areas, parents encouraged to spend time in the grounds and all students offered opportunities for outdoor learning.
