At the heart of King Alfredโs 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.
A new KAS record was reached with A*s making up 30% of all A level and Level 3 grades and students excited to be heading off to a huge range of prestigious post-school pathways. The A*s were only part of the story; with almost half (43%) of grades at A* – A and over three quarters (76%) of the grades...

There were smiles, selfies and happy tears today as our Year 13 students received their A Level and Level 3 results.
We couldn't be prouder of everything this brilliant year group has achieved. Today's results were well above national averages (โ ), with:
๐ 30% of all grades awarded at A*
๐ Almost half (43%) of grades at A* - A
๐ Over three quarters (76%) of grades at A* - B
But beyond the results in those little white envelopes, we're just as proud of how each and every young person knows their own mind, has defined their own version of success, and is pursuing their individual dreams.
That's reflected in the diverse range of post-KAS pathways our students are taking, including:

Big love must also go to our incredible staff. As ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐ said: "I felt supported by the teachers from day one, and I don't think I could have achieved my three A grades without their help and encouragement."
Enjoy your celebrations, Class of 2026 ๐ We can't wait to see you shine in the world beyond KAS!

“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.”
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.
