News podcast: New shadow schools minister Catherine McKinnell speaks to Tes

This week on the Tes News podcast the team discuss an exclusive interview with the new shadow schools minister Catherine McKinnell, in which she explains why you can’t fix the challenges in schools “in silo” and how she wants to “put the fun back into the education system”.

In her first interview since taking up the role just months ago, Ms McKinnell explains what makes her tick and why being a “details person” will help her tackle the many challenges facing the sector.

Join Tes news editor Mary-Louise Clews and senior reporter Matilda Martin as they discuss the message that Ms McKinnell wants the sector to hear, as well as some of the behind-the-scenes details of the interview in Portcullis House.
