Welcome to our first Academic Enrichment Bulletin for the Year 2026-27. This is part of the work of the Academic Enrichment Programme at King Alfred's, which seeks to strengthen our working partnership with both parents and carers in developing the intellectual curiosity of all our students.
This FREE series of webinars from White & Black Legal will, of course, be biased towards Law, but much of their advice will be relevant to any aspect of business.
Every year, we aim to host about half a dozen academic talks, on a broad range of subjects and topics. These are FREE to our students and staff, and their family members. The talks usually start at 17:00 (check individual talks for details), and they are hosted in one of the large spaces within the school.
Keen to develop your Academic Portfolio and expand your Super Curriculum? Then look no further!
The Academic Enrichment Newsletter is our way of sharing with all our students and their parents some of the many opportunities available in our immediate locality (and online!) to pursue some independent learning.
This year's Sir Christopher Ricks talk will be given by Dr Kathryn Harkup. Her talk will turn a scientific eye towards our beloved bard, and explore some of the science behind his more creative ideas.
The Academic Enrichment Newsletter is packed with updates for events, exhibitions and websites to support our students with their super curricular exploration.
If you are in Years 8 or 9 (so going into Year 9 or 10 next September), you can apply to join the OxLAT Programme offered by the Classics Department at the University of Oxford
This term's Academic Enrichment Newsletter is full of ideas and opportunities for exploring your subjects beyond school, and for finding out about subjects that may not be taught in school. Great for building up your super curriculum.
If you have an interest in Conflict, the Military and options for Peace, this is a wonderful museum to visit.

Our AEP talks are free to our Students, Staff and their Families.
