Description

In this powerful episode, Cameron Parker sits down with Katharine Birbalsingh, often described as Britain’s Strictest Headteacher, for one of the most honest and inspiring conversations you’ll ever hear about education.

They discuss:
💬 Why fatherhood matters more than ever
🏫 Why Ofsted should never be the goal
🔥 Why teaching is our duty, not just a job
⚔️ Why we must go to war for our children
🎓 The importance of uniform and school culture
👑 The role of leadership in shaping young lives
🗣️ How Katharine handles criticism and stays true to her mission
… and so much more.

Katharine's insight and conviction will challenge everything you think you know about schools, leadership, and what young people truly need to thrive.

This is more than an interview — it’s a masterclass in purpose, discipline, and hope.
