Mrs G Barrett

Head of Dance

I’ve had the privilege of being part of the King's Leadership Warrington community for the past six years. I am passionate about playing a vital role in being an advocate for exercise and strong mental wellbeing.

My journey in education began with a first-class honours degree in Dance Performance & Teaching from the University of Central Lancashire. Following my passion for physical education, I pursued a PGCE in Secondary Physical Education with QTS (11-16) at Edge Hill University.

I firmly believe in maintaining an active lifestyle. Weekdays, I regularly attend the gym and you can also see me on the netball court at Media City, Manchester. Beyond the classroom, I immerse myself in the world of dance, training in Contemporary, Street Dance, and Commercial styles at Studio 25 in Manchester.

Adventure is my second nature, I have a huge love for snow sports and water sports. Whether it’s carving through the Alps or wakeboarding across Lake Windermere, the great outdoors are very much my happy place.

What drew me to King's was our team's mutual dedication to character education. I am committed to instilling the significance of maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle guided by a strong moral compass.

As students progress through their educational journey and into the future, my focus remains on cultivating their ambition and resilience. It is of paramount importance to me to promote and nurture strong family values alongside academic excellence.
