Health & Social Care

About 3 million people in the UK work in the health and social care sectors, which is equivalent to 1 in every 10 people. Demand for both health care and social care is likely to continue to rise due to the aging population, so it is undisputable that it plays a key role in UK society.

The Health and Social Care department will support every student through their journey to develop their resilience, curiosity and independence, growing into well-rounded individuals to succeed in today’s diverse society. Complimenting other subjects and the wider school, students will experience and study a vast range of Health and Social Care topic areas, requiring them to demonstrate empathy and respect for others. Students will become confident and fully prepared for the many challenges and opportunities they face in managing people’s health and well-being, preparing them for life and inspiring them to work in Modern Britain.
