Will Labour get better marks on education next term?

Education, education, education’ was how Tony Blair set out New Labour’s priorities in the early noughties.  A quarter of a century on, what story is Keir Starmer trying to tell about schools under his premiership?

In this episode, Sam and Anne are joined by Laura McInerney, a former teacher and co-founder of Teacher Tapp, to break down the government’s plan for education as we head into a new school year. 

They ask:

—  What will be included in the education white paper?

—  Can there be further devolution within the education system?

—  Will Bridget Phillipson remain as the education secretary?

Sam and Anne are getting a lie-in over summer recess, but they’ll be in your feed with special episodes every Monday before normal services resumes on September 1.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
