Welcome from the Health and Social Care Captain of 2023/24

Following on from taking Health and Social in year 9 as soon as the course was over I knew I wanted to be Health and Social captain. The subject showed me a lot of everyday life skills that I plan to use in my future. I will always recommend taking Health and Social care as it opens so many paths to go down including caring for the elderly and working with children. I’m so excited to work alongside Oliver and Mrs Wiseman this year as one of the Health and Social care captains.

I am thrilled to be one of the new Health and Social Care Captains for 2023-2024. I applied for this role; I loved doing the subject last year, and I’d like to encourage many people to take the subject for one of their option subjects whether that be in year 9, 10, or 11. And I hope those who are doing Health and Social Care this year will reach the best grade they can. We are both available to support & help you in room 38 on a Thursday lunchtime! 

I cannot wait to be working with Emily and Mrs Wiseman throughout this school year.

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).
