Katharine Birbalsingh, who co-founded one of the country’s most acclaimed inner-city schools, Michaela Community School in Wembley, north London, warned that Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson’s planned changes will torpedo the state sector and make it far worse.

She claimed the measures in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill are a “grab for power by the state” motivated by Leftist ideology.

Ms Birbalsingh also predicted that “every child will be far worse off” because of it.
