In Conversation with Sajid Gulzar

Episode notes

In this episode, I’m speaking to Sajid Gulzar about growing up a first generation Muslim immigrant from Kashmir, in Birmingham UK. He talks about how his faith formed his identity as he grew up, what he does when protected characteristics seem to be at odds with one another, and how inspired he was by his father’s faith.

Sajid Gulzar, OBE, is Principal of Kings’ School Al Barsha. He began his first headship in 2009 and was most recently the founding CEO of a multi-academy trust in the UK. 

He has inspected for Ofsted, worked internationally leading a teacher development project, and served as an advisor to the Department for Education.
