Welcome to The King Alfred School, a school at the heart of the community with a long history of providing education for the children of Highbridge, Burnham on Sea and the surrounding areas.

As Headteacher, I consider the opportunity to educate other people’s children as a privilege, bringing with it a huge responsibility to provide the best all-round education possible. Unashamedly values driven, at the heart of our school lay the principles of belonging, belief and pride. These shape all we do, from the strong relationships we build to the wider opportunities we provide and the high standards we continuously uphold. I am incredibly proud to be an inclusive school serving the community, where every student within our care is welcomed, supported and challenged to succeed.

I am fiercely ambitious for our children. Together with a dedicated staff body, supportive Community Council and local families, we work tirelessly to ensure that every student leaves us with the academic excellence, confidence, and strength of character needed to thrive in the wider world. Our mission is simple: to provide an equitable, rich, and rigorous education that opens doors.

Whether you are a prospective parent/carer, student or visitor, we would be delighted to welcome you to The King Alfred School.
