In this session, National Leader of Education Helen Frostick will offer a practical overview of RSHE in the primary school, including lessons learned from the first three months of delivery. Topics of discussion will include the on-going role of pupil voice in shaping the RSE curriculum, keeping parents and governors inside and onside, weaving in the important strand of mental health, and staff training & CPD.

The session will offer a range of practical ideas and advice for delivery and will signpost a number of resources & training to equip staff on the frontline. The session will be ideal for school leaders and PSHE leads.

    Helen P Frostick
    Former Headteacher; National Leader of Education & Educational Consultant

    Helen recently retired after fifteen years of being Headteacher of St Mary Magdalen’s Catholic Primary School to pursue other interests. These include educational consultancy, journalism and school improvement projects for the Southwark diocese, including reshaping inspections once schools fully reopen post COVID.

    Her career in education has been rich and rewarding with opportunities to teach overseas in Poland and Washington D.C. She has taught in a diverse range of primary schools in inner city London as well as the suburbs which bring their own unique set of challenges and rewards.

    After St Mary Magdalen’s was judged an outstanding school in every area in June 2013, Helen became a national leader of education (NLE), and the school a national support school (NSS). As part of the outreach work this entailed, Helen began speaking at national conferences on the subjects of developing a creative curriculum, safeguarding, relationships and sex education (RSE) and narrowing the attainment gap for Pupil Premium Pupils. She also regularly writes educational articles for four national magazines on a range of topics.
