A Yorkshire teacher on the wrong side of the Pennines; Ms Eggleton has a life long love of reading, leading to studying English Literature at Lancaster University. After graduating, Ms Eggleton started her teaching career as a Teach First participant at Stretford High School in 2009, teaching English. Three years later Ms Eggleton left Stretford to work; first as English teacher at a school in Altrincham; and then as assistant head of the English at a school in Salford. During this time she achieved a Masters in Education and Leadership from The University of Manchester and completed her NPQML qualification.

After four years away, the pull to return to Stretford was too great and Ms Eggleton was thrilled to rejoin the school in 2016 as Head of English, joining the leadership team as Assistant Headteacher in 2018. Although she will always call Yorkshire home, Ms Eggleton is very proud to be a Stretfordian too.
