What I REALLY Learnt at School - Alfredian Voices
The King Alfred School

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, compliments the stories in this series. If you would like to connect with the school and the Old Alfredian community, or learn about our approach to education, visit our website at: https://www.kingalfred.org.uk/

The VOICE of Julie James Bailey, Class of 1952

Julie, a former King Alfred's School student, describes moving to England in 1947 due to her father's deployment in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Adapting to the climate and infrastructure of improvised army huts, she recalls her educational experience, emphasizing a variety of subjects and activities as an important part of King Alfred's learning model. She often played 'boys' parts' in drama courses and was the only girl in her cricket team. After leaving school, she studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA), pursued directing in a male-dominated theatre industry, and built a career in television. Julie credits much of her success and resilience to King Alfred's School's gender-inclusive environment and the encouragement to try everything.
