Welcome to What I REALLY Learnt at School -  Alfredian Voices. 

We can all remember our school days, the highs, the lows, the achievements, and the challenges, but what we learnt and the experiences that shaped us are different for everyone.  

In this podcast series, we bring you the voices of Old Alfredians, former students at the King Alfred School in North London, a school that has stood out from the crowd for the past 125 years for delivering a deeper learning experience. 

Highlighting their stories shows the impact that schools can have when they are bold and innovative and crucially take a child-centered approach to education.

We are grateful to the OAs who have shared their stories, allowing us to bring our school's vibrant history alive. Our sincere thanks to Old Alfredian Amy Cash, Class of 2020, who is kindly recording all of the introductions for our series.

Our 125th anniversary book, full of photographs from our archive, complements the stories in this series.
