It was founded in London in 1898. The school was radical when started in that it provided a secular education and that boys and girls were educated together.[2] Today it remains true to its roots by providing a holistic educational experience that values equally academic achievement and personal development. It does so within an informal environment characterised by minimal rules that seeks to develop intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation. In order to enable every individual to flourish, the school seeks to minimize unnecessary pressure and maximise a broad sense of well-being. AimIts aim is to "help train up its scholars in the way of the good life, to help to fit them for effective work in the world, for effective sympathy and for effective joy." (John Russell, Head 1901-20).[2] ReceptionThe Good Schools Guide reviewed the school in the following terms:[3] {{cquote|The original ethos – liberal, progressive, egalitarian, child-centred – remains core to the school’s values today. Parents and pupils agree that the needs of each child are foremost. ‘They try to act holistically. They look at the individual and find out what makes them shine.' If you want fierce competitive sport and silverware displayed in shiny glass cabinets, look elsewhere. Matches are often mixed – in age, gender (and competence). A successful match is one which everyone enjoys.}} Notable former pupils{{see also|Category:People educated at King Alfred School, London}}{{alumni|date=July 2011}}
