Andrea Eadsforth - Healthy Schools Teaching and Learning Adviser (Rochdale BC)
Andrea Eadsforth
Healthy Schools T&L Adviser
I joined Rochdale LA School Improvement Team in 2018 as the Healthy Schools Teaching and Learning adviser where I work closely with a range of partners including the Commissioning team, Public Health, School Nursing and the YPMHST.
Prior to joining the council, I was a Teacher and a Senior Leader with over 20 years’ experience in teaching and a senior leader in both Primary and High school so I bring a wealth of experience from both a teaching and leadership background. I also have experience of teaching and leading in a specialist unit for Primary pupils with an Autism and SP&L diagnosis.
I am extremely passionate about ensuring our children and young people have the best possible support for their education, health and wellbeing. I believe pupils should be enabled to have their voice heard and listened to so the Healthy school's programme offers support to schools to set up school councils as well projects to support all aspects of health and wellbeing.
