Care Sector

The care sector courses are designed to give students a breadth and balance in a suite of 3 qualifications that prepare a young person with the skills, knowledge and understanding of a range of roles in industry. Coverage is from cradle to grave and gives hands on and theoretical study in equal proportions.

At KS4 students study level 2 qualifications in - 

BTEC Health & Social Care Level 2 for 3 hrs per week.

BTEC Child Development Level 2 for 3 hrs per week.

GCSE Citizenship for 3 hrs per week.

The above courses complement each other to enable students to transfer skills and knowledge across courses.

The above courses carry a mandatory placement element. We have strong links with local businesses to offer you a placement in childcare and health and social care settings including local nursery settings, Health Watch, Food Power and Sustain; where you will have the opportunity to be involved in making policy and nationwide changes. We also ensure all our KS5 students experience a days training at NHS training facilities.
