Helen Spring – science consultant and former Riverside employee

Helen Spring works as a Primary Science and Outdoor Learning Specialist in and around Yorkshire primarily. Helen worked in environmental education for a number of years, before re-training as a Primary School Teacher. During her 7 years teaching, Helen was passionate about Primary Science and Eco-Schools, leading her school to achieve awards in these areas. She left teaching to work at the National Science Learning Centre, before setting up as an independent specialist (www.springlearning.co.uk), as well as working as a hub leader for the Primary Science Quality Mark (www.psqm.org.uk). Helen is a Level 3 Forest School Leader and holds public liability insurance.

Helen’s Science Days will vary depending on the year groups she is working with at the time. They will be relevant to the National Curriculum, but designed to extend more-able pupils. All workshops are practical and can be adapted according to your needs; Helen will ensure that all activities are appropriately risk-assessed.
