6:06 pm
businessman and former deputy leader of reform ben habib. as always, we want to hear what you think at home. so please get your views in at gbnews.com/yoursay now. katharine birbalsingh, often dubbed britain's strictest headmistress, has today written a public letter to the education secretary imploring her not to press ahead with the government's controversial schools bill. now, here's a quick reminder of some of those more controversial provisions within that bill. firstly, all schools are going to be compelled to follow the national curriculum, including academies and free schools, which currently are allowed to teach what they want. there are going to be new powers for education secretary to give directions to academy leaders. there's going to be no flexibilities for academies to pay specialist teachers more, and schools will only be allowed a maximum of three branded uniform items. now, catherine joined me earlier for an exclusive interview to explain her concerns was extraordinarily successful. you've got quite a deprived intake of children, and yet your
6:07 pm
results are absolutely astounding. it was really extraordinary that that bridget phillipson couldn't even bring herself to congratulate you and your school on your latest exam results. why do you think that is.7 >> is? >> i really can't explain it. i don't understand, you know, i suppose maybe she sees us as a free school, as a success of the previous government, and so she didn't want to be caught out recognising that the previous government had done something good. which is really sad that politics can be so tribal. i think it's so important that if, i mean, the fact is, the conservative government over the last, you know, decade or more, in fact, 14 years, it's done an excellent job for education. and that's something all the reforms that's something all the reforms that were brought along before that were brought along before that have really given us all such energy and such enthusiasm in the, in our schools. why not build on that? and of course, there are issues like
6:08 pm
recruitment and retention is a huge issue for schools and continues to be. that is something that the conservative government did not address, and it's something that she could look to address. but actually, with her reforms on taking away academies freedom around pay, it's quite likely going to cost teachers massively in terms of their salaries. she's making it so that if you take away the freedoms that headteachers have and that school leaders have, and that school leaders have, and that school leaders have, and that teachers have, they're going to have a larger problem when it comes to recruitment and retention. so the things that she should be doing to help. she's not. and then she's actually ruining things in other ways to make the problems even greater. i just i feel like she doesn't really know and that she would do well, i think, to, to visit schools like michaela. but if she doesn't want to visit us because she obviously i don't know, i suppose she doesn't like us very much. that's why she didn't want to congratulate us. that's okay. there are other schools. there are, you know, some 90 odd schools that
6:09 pm
performed very well in terms of their progress, eight above 1.5. i think she should visit a number of those schools, and then she'll find that they all have quite a lot in common with regard to offering have quite a lot in common with regard to offeri
