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.
King Alfred School students have performed brilliantly achieving the school’s best ever results with 53% of the grades at A*-A, and 80% of the grades A* - B and a 100% pass rate. #Alevels2020

After a school year unlike any other, results day had a very different feel this year as Y13 students gathered at Manor Wood to collect their A level results.
King Alfred School students have performed brilliantly achieving the school’s best ever results with 53% of the grades at A*-A, and 80% of the grades A* - B and a 100% pass rate. After a year defined by uncertainty, there was a sense of closure and excitement about taking their next steps to university with most students securing a place at their first choice university.
Robert Lobatto, Head of King Alfred School, said: “Our results this year are a real testament to the hard work of all our students over the last two years. These are the strongest set of results in our history and, knowing the academic standards of this year group, I’m sure this would have been the case had the exams gone ahead as planned. The moderation process was generally fair, although there are some bizarre individual results which will need to be appealed.” ... See MoreSee Less

“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.
