Katharine Birbalsingh took to the stage at last year’s Conservative party conference, denouncing state education in full-throttled style, winning critics and plaudits in equal measure. Spanning a year of shocking truths and hard-won victories, of fights and phone-thefts, teenage pregnancies and the dreaded OFSTED report, To Miss With Love is the remarkable diary of an inner-city schoolteacher. Funny, surprising and sometimes heartbreaking, the book takes us on a journey from the frontlines of the classroom to the heart of modern Britain.
Chaired by Sarah LeFanu former Artistic Director of the Bath Literature Festival and is currently RLF Fellow at the University of Exeter
