Sir Tim’s impressive career has spanned roles as a school secondary teacher, deputy headteacher, Professor of Education at Keele University, Chief Education Officer in both Oxfordshire and Birmingham Local Authorities, Schools Commissioner for London, and Chief Adviser for London Schools.

Baz and Sir Tim discuss:

• Sir Tim’s new book on what can be learned today from the recent history
  of education policy
• How a traumatic experience gave Sir Tim his passion for schools from an
  early age
• How attitudes to school improvement have changed over time
