We are delighted to welcome Holly Rigby for the first in this season's "Chipping Barnet Labout Presents": open and informative talks free to the public, on topics that matter to all of us. Holly Rigby has taught for the last five years in an inner London academy school. She is currently researching the National Education Service part-time at King’s College London and writes regularly for The Guardian. In this talk she draws on her experience as a teacher as well as evidence-based research, to discuss radical ways in which education policy could be reshaped. Could a change to university admission policies drive greater investment in state education? Would a 4-day week for teachers be feasible and what differences would it make to students? What practical and policy changes can we make to ensure that we are genuinely offering a fair and positive educational experience for the many not the few?
