To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware and Save A Life - see more here.
NCFE Level 1/2 Technical Award
Students explore how people grow and develop throughout their lives, the factors that influence health and wellbeing, and the support available to help individuals achieve positive outcomes. This vocational qualification combines academic learning with practical application, helping students develop valuable knowledge and transferable skills.
Throughout the course, students study topics including human growth and development, health and wellbeing, person-centred care, communication skills, safeguarding, equality and diversity, and the role of health and social care services. They learn how professionals support individuals with different needs and how services work together to promote wellbeing.
Assessment consists of an externally assessed written examination and a vocational non-exam assessment project, allowing students to apply their learning to realistic health and social care scenarios.
Students develop a range of transferable skills including communication, problem-solving, planning, research, evaluation and reflection. These skills are highly valued in health, education, public services and many other people-focused careers.
We aim for our Health and Social Care students to become compassionate, informed and reflective young people who understand the importance of promoting health and wellbeing and who are equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make a positive contribution to their communities and future careers.
