Katharine Birbalsingh is a British educator who founded Michaela Community School in Wembley in 2014 and remains its headmistress. Best known as Britain's ‘strictest headteacher,’ she became prominent after a 2010 Conservative conference speech. She was made a CBE in 2020, and she resigned as Social Mobility Commission chair in 2023.
Tomorrow, she is returning to the show to discuss her new book, 'Diversity Is Not Our Strength', where she explores the challenges facing a multicultural society, in this case Britain, and how to manage them successfully, while putting to bed the left-wing theory that diversity for its own sake is a strength in itself.
Comment your questions.
Most of us put real effort into our work, our families, and our finances. But when it comes to our health, we are mostly guessing.
You go to the doctor.
You walk out with: “Everything looks fine. Drink more water.”
No real data.
No plan.
Superpower changes that.
Here is how it works:
A licensed professional comes to your home, or you visit a nearby lab, for a single blood draw
They analyse over 100 biomarkers: heart health, hormones, metabolism, liver function, thyroid, vitamins, minerals, and environmental toxins
You get a personalised action plan with targeted supplements, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle changes you can start straight away
You learn your true biological age and can track how your choices are actually shaping your long-term health, year on year
Price-wise, this is a straightforward decision. Superpower used to cost $499. Right now it is $199, while other testing services charge $500 to $1,000 or more for similar or often inferior information. And with code TRIGGER at checkout, you get an additional $20 off.

What you have accomplished is incredible. I was raised in the UK and now live in Las Vegas, USA, where the state schools are consistently ranked among the worst in the nation. I am reading The Schools We Need, and would love to recreate your school model in the U.S. Do you believe it possible to do so, and do you offer some form of guidance? I have two daughters, 5 and 10, and would love to be up and running for high school (age 14) so I do not have to send them out of state.
What would Government education need to be to reflect your approach and effectiveness?
