Health & Social Care

Curriculum Intent

The intent of the Health and Social Care (HSC) curriculum is to equip pupils with the knowledge and skills needed to develop their employability skills in, and understanding of, the HSC industry. HSC learners are able to use skills and knowledge that have been learned in core subjects and apply them to everyday and work contexts. The curriculum is designed to focus on developing sector specific knowledge and technical skills in a practical learning environment. It complements the core subjects along with the wider school curriculum for personal development. It covers skills and processes such as the interpreting of data to assess an individual’s health and designing a plan to improve their health and wellbeing. Our learners are constantly challenged to work collaboratively and think independently when engaging in lessons and class debates, allowing them to be active contributors, which will also foster a love for learning.
