KAS is divided into two parts (Lower School: Reception to Year 6 and Upper School: Year 7 to 13), but we operate as one school in which all parts belong to a whole. Age groups are encouraged to mix, with Upper School students helping out in Lower School, and so enrich each other’s lives.

We offer a wide curriculum – Heading 3

The King Alfred School is a happy, compassionate school in which the emotional, physical and social development of our students are held in equal regard to their academic progress.

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.
