Dame Sheila Wallis DBE was recognised for her lifetime of service to education, including working hard with her dedicated team of teaching and support staff to turn a school producing 25% A-C grade at GCSE to one producing 75% A*-C. An incredible turnaround achieved in an area of economic deprivation. In this episode Sheila and I explore the role and impacts of education in her own life and in those of the pupils she and her staff worked so hard to help.
