Laura McInerney
Laura started her career in east London comprehensives and taught for six years before being taken to court by Michael Gove for asking a difficult question about free schools. (She won, eventually).
Following this, Laura became a journalist, writing a monthly column in The Guardian and editing Schools Week, where her team won national awards for their hard-hitting scoops.
She is now the co-founder of Teacher Tapp, an app revealing previously unknown insights about teachers’ lives.
