More Christ Episode Seventeen: Katharine Birbalsingh: The Power of Culture and Proper Education

Welcome to More Christ, where we seek to bring some of the world's most interesting and insightful guests to discuss life's central and abiding questions.  In this seventeenth episode in a series of discussions, I'm joined by the brilliant Katharine Birbalsingh. Katharine is a British education reformer and headteacher. She is the founder and headmistress of Michaela Community School, a free school (charter school) established in 2014 in Wembley Park, London.  Birbalsingh is the author of two books, Singleholic (2009) and To Miss with Love (2011), and editor of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Teachers: The Michaela Way (2016) and Michaela: The Power of Culture (2020).  She also hosts a blog, To Miss with Love, where she writes about the education system.   In 2017 she was included by Anthony Seldon in his list of the 20 most influential figures in British education, and in 2019 she was awarded the Contrarian prize.
