Barbara Middleton
Barbara is proud to have been the Headteacher of Shiremoor Primary School for 10 years. Shiremoor is an old mining community and the area is contextually challenging. Over the course of my time at Shiremoor, she has also been very involved in school to school support, both as a National Leader, a Teaching School Lead, and as an Executive Head. Previously, she was Regional Secretary of the NAHT. Barbara loves giving advice and guidance to new Heads and feels strongly that education is a moral purpose and that schools thrive when we collaborate and support one another. Currently, she delivers NPQH through the Three Rivers Teaching School Hub so that we can grow a new generation of leaders.
