The crisis in school funding and the bold Labour promise to abolish tuition fees put education at the heart of June’s election battle and the mainstream political agenda.

93% of us send our children to state schools. As parents and citizens we care passionately about every aspect of state education, and the resources that go into it.

In this wide-ranging discussion on what education should look like in the 21st century, we bring together the head of our own successful local community school, an award-winning campaigner and the author of Labour’s popular election manifesto to discuss what’s going right, what’s going wrong and how we can bring about meaningful, sustainable change. 

Judith Enright,  head teacher of Queens Park Community School

Jonny Crawshaw,  Rescue Our Schools

Andrew Fisher, chief policy advisor to the leader of the Labour Party

Chaired by Melissa Benn, writer and campaigner
