          • Health and Social Care

          Aims

          This subject offers students the opportunity to learn about those around us – the growth and development of the different life stages of humans and the many factors that affect these. It is particularly suited to those that wish to enter into the caring professions e.g.; education, social work, nursing, midwifery, counselling etc. It aims to give students the necessary life skills to make a difference in people’s lives. 

          Teaching and Learning

          A wide variety of teaching strategies are used in Health and Social care to make the lessons fun, challenging and informative. Individual theory, group work, role-playing and practical sessions, using ICT, research and application to real-life case studies all help make the subject more real for the students. Current health and social care issues in the news are discussed in class to encourage an opinion and provide background knowledge for course work.

          Assessment for learning

          Students are assessed at regular intervals throughout the year and given both verbal and written feedback according to the task. Pupils are encouraged to self-assess and peer mark work where appropriate, setting individual targets. Chances are given for reflection and improvements to be made to work.    

          Home Learning

          • A variety of homework is set on a regular basis to reinforce classroom learning.
          • This may include research, interviews or applying your knowledge to case studies.
          • Show my Homework – all home learning activities will be published by individual staff members on the Show My Homework website which can be found by following the link on the school’s homepage. Students and parents can access this through their accounts or by filtering the results.

          Equipment

          All students are expected to have the usual equipment for learning with them.

          Additional

          There are two assignments attached to each internally assessed component (four in total for the course); as well as an externally assessed exam during year 11.

          Students are encouraged to base their investigative course work on a real life service user and are expected to carry out interviews and research in their own time to support this.

          Students research different careers in the Health and Social Care sector as part of the course. If more specific careers support is needed then students can contact the careers office for guidance. 

          How Parents/ Carers can help

          Students are encouraged to stay up to date with current affairs, as there are often issues concerning the health and social care sector; watching the news and reading newspapers are particularly beneficial. Television programmes such as 24 hours in A&E, Ambulance, One Born Every Minute, The Secret Life Of 4 Year Olds, 999: ‘What’s your emergency?’ allow students to apply content learnt in lessons, as well as giving them an insight into how the health and social sectors work.

          Parental support and guidance during coursework and examination periods is also advantageous.
