Labour is about to destroy England’s top-performing state schools. That’s the stark warning
of Katharine Birbalsingh, head of the Michaela Community School, often dubbed ‘Britain’s strictest headteacher’. Here, Birbalsingh recalls her clashes with Bridget Phillipson, the Labour education secretary. She explains why the government’s new schools bill will drive down academic standards, let bad behaviour slip and make it harder for kids to get into a decent state school. She also discusses the dangers of ‘decolonising’ the curriculum and
why schools must cultivate a sense of national belonging.
