Kiran began her career in inner-city London, as an English teacher in schools serving the most deprived postcodes in the country.  After five years on the frontline, Kiran left to work in education policy, searching for solutions to the rising number of vulnerable children who fall through the gaps.  Kiran was working at Social Mobility Commission when she conceived the idea for The Difference.  She has led its work full-time since January 2017. In a detailed and wide-ranging conversation with Pivotal Education's Mark Bocker, we learn a huge amount about Kiran - her story, what motivates her, hat The Difference stands for and a lot more.
