Former Suffolk school head Barbara Izzard dies, aged 87 | East Anglian Daily Times
This pioneering role was an apt way to finish her teaching career, as she had been a trailblazer in her first teaching job in Newport, Wales - where, in 1956, she became one of the first teachers in Britain to deliver a brand new subject for sixth formers, human biology. After moving to Suffolk in 1965, Mrs Izzard was heavily involved in local life, especially the church. After retiring, she became a lay reader for the three churches of Stonham Parva, Stonham Aspal and Earl Stonham. She had also been a member of the Women’s Institute and helped with local charities.
