Bromley High School GDST has launched a new initiative to educate girls about the complexities of women’s health. With academic and pastoral care curriculums covering everything from menopause to mammograms (and lots more), Head of Biology and Women’s Health Lead at the school, Lindsay Garlick, outlines the approach the school is taking.
We believe in equipping girls with the knowledge and confidence to thrive, not just academically, but in every aspect of their lives. Traditional education often falls short in addressing the complexities of women’s health, leaving many women feeling uninformed and hesitant to seek support. We want to change that.
‘Women’s Health by Bromley High School’ began a couple of years ago when I was at a conference listening to a presentation about women’s health and, despite reflecting on my own experiences and those that friends had shared with me, I was still blown away by the stories and statistics I heard.
