Our Health Service has never felt so important as it has in the past two years. We have come to see it’s true value and appreciate the amazing people who work for the NHS. Health and Social Care is a vocational course with many transferable skills, so even if you do not want to work in the health sector it is a good qualification for anyone who would like to work with people. Practical experience is important and aspects of each unit will be carried out considering a variety of Health and Care related environments, and the relevant service users. The teaching staff are experienced and work closely with the students, to help develop independent study skills so that they produce the very best coursework possible, that is of a high quality and professional standard. A significant amount of time is also set aside to ensure that the students are thoroughly prepared for the examined units.
As a general guideline, pupils are expected to achieve passes in GCSE English and Maths and a minimum of Grade 5 or 6 in their chosen A-Level/BTEC subjects.
