Welcome from the Health and Social Care Captain of 2025/26

After studying Health and Social Care in Year 9, I quickly realised how much I loved the subject and developed a strong desire to become the captain. It has been my absolute favourite subject throughout high school, and I’ve gained so much from it.  Not only has it taught me essential skills like effective communication across different age groups and in various situations, but it has also emphasised the importance of treating everyone with respect in all care settings, and the crucial role of safeguarding.

Health and Social Care opens a wide range of career opportunities, from social work to becoming a GP, therapist, and many other roles within the care, social, and health sectors. I wanted to become the captain because I’m passionate about sharing the value of this subject with students across all year groups and helping them understand why these skills are so important for both personal growth and future career success.

I am truly grateful and excited to serve as the Health and Social Care Captain for 2025-2026. I look forward to collaborating with Mrs. Wiseman and supporting fellow students by answering questions and providing guidance about the subject!

The Cambridge National in health and social care will equip learners with sound specialist knowledge and skills for everyday use. It will also challenge all learners, including high attaining learners, by introducing them to demanding material and skills; encouraging independence and creativity; providing tasks that engage with the most taxing aspects of the National Curriculum (including values of care and the current legislation requirements and the importance of softer skills such as communication skills to ensure individuals right to independence and dignity).
