Here’s an example of a successful independent school
With today’s disgraceful NAPLAN results I believe it’s worth listening to Katharine Birbalsingh who is the ‘strictest headmistress’ in the UK. Katharine has created in a few years the very most successful school with top academic results and happy, fulfilled and thriving students… all from poor inner city families. She is an inspiration.
Katharine Birbalsingh CBE is a British teacher and education reform advocate who is the founder and Headmistress of Michaela Community School in London. She is author of multiple books including Michaela: The Power of Culture. This talk was given on Day 3 of the ARC Conference 2023 as we were discussing what it would take to rebuild the social fabric.
