    344: ‘Labour will ruin our best schools’ | Katharine Birbalsingh vs Bridget Phillipson
    Mar 5 2025
    This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Katharine Birbalsingh. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked

    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.
