The best way to find out about our school is to visit. About Us Home » About Us » Head's Welcome Heads Welcome I am delighted to welcome you to the Royal Alexandra and Albert School. We are an inclusive and ambitious school where every colleague cares deeply about our students.
We are a boarding school, and our strong boarding ethos is founded upon values that seek to foster independence, strength of character and academic success. We combine high expectations with meaningful, personalised support to ensure that our young people are happy and successful.
This is a place like no other: we are a state boarding school that provides life-enriching opportunities for all students. Our students have access to excellent facilities that include an equestrian centre, a swimming pool and extensive sporting arenas.
