Ex Corde Vita Out of the heart springs life The pattern of King Alfred School may, I think, be likened to the valley of a river. The width and length of this valley does not greatly alter over the years, but the actual river bed is being shaped continually by the movement of the water which is always seeking out the best route to follow and altering its course accordingly. We and the children in the school represent the river and all those who are, or have been, a part of the school have made their contribution... those who return to King Alfreds after 10, 20, or 30 years of absence recognise an atmosphere and a spirit that does not change. This spirit is perfectly summed up in our motto: ex corde vita... It is not what you put into the child, but what you draw out that constitutes education. BH Montgomery Head of KAS 1945-1962
In 2015/16 King Alfred School students achieved success in all areas of school life including an excellent performance in public exams. The GCSE results were outstanding and richly deserved by our students. Their achievements show that our informal and nurturing environment leads to first rate educational outcomes, as well as ensuring the overall enjoyment of learning. At A-level our results were in the top 10% nationally for value-added, and are a testament to the hard work of the students, the strength of teaching and the unique experience that our vibrant Sixth Form offers. Each year our leavers go on to the universities of their choice and this year maintained this excellent record. From September, KAS students will find themselves in prestigious institutions ranging from top universities, to the Royal Academy of Music to cutting edge art colleges. I congratulate all of our students and look forward to hearing of their future successes. Robert Lobatto HEAD The King Alfred School Out of the heart springs life 3
