Ethos

Health and Social Care is a subject where students can engage and develop transferable interpersonal skills. These include the ability to work independently or with others, problem solving, personal, learning and thinking skills and to provide learners with opportunities to link their education to the world of work in engaging, relevant and practical ways.

Aims

Our aim is to provide a challenging and enriching experience which will allow pupils to:

to take responsibility for their own learning and achievement.
to work confidently whether it is independently or in a group.
to be interested in working with people.
to develop skills and attributes prized by employers, further education colleges and higher education establishments.
