From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fiona Millar is a British journalist and high profile education campaigner. She was an adviser to Cherie Blair for many years. She is not keen on what she call sharp elbowed middle class parents getting into some of the better state schools.
In 2005, along with Melissa Benn, she co-wrote a pamphlet entitled A Comprehensive Future: Quality and Equality for all our children and is active in the campaign against the Trust Schools white paper, appearing alongside such Labour Party luminaries as Neil Kinnock and Estelle Morris at campaign meetings.
Her partner, and the father of her children, is Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's former Director of Communications.
She is Vice-Chair of Comprehensive Future, an organisation that promotes the perceived advantages fo comprehensive schools in the UK. Her children attend state schools in the Camden LEA, and she is a school governor at two schools. Millar's articles appear regularly in the education supplememt of The Guardian newspaper.
