The Health for Life programme entitles you to a series of funded training days.

This session will support you with everything you need to know about successfully completing the Growing Food strand in your school.

A number of visiting speakers will inform you of support available to embed HfL across your school and we will consider your action plan and curriculum opportunities to ensure that HfL is built into school life and is not another ‘add on’. This is a great opportunity to network with your cohort too!

About the Adviser

Helen's journey began in 1998 when she proudly graduated with a first-class honour’s degree in English and Education Studies. Her time studying in Amsterdam at the Hogeschool Holland added a TESOL element to her degree, opening her eyes to international approaches to education.

Her teaching career in Staffordshire saw her excel in various roles, from subject leadership to SENCo and SLT. Helen's passion and dedication led her to become a Leading Maths Teacher, supporting colleagues and ultimately transitioning into consultancy and advisory roles.

Joining Services For Education in 2015 as an Education Adviser, Helen's initial focus on Maths Advising quickly expanded to include managing the highly successful Health for Life in Primary Schools programme and overseeing ECT Induction.
