Health and Social Care

GCSE in Health & Social Care is suitable for learners aged 14-16 years who are interested in learning about the development and care of individuals throughout the lifecycle from conception to late adulthood.

Health and Social care at Ysgol Y Rhos provides:

  • Pupils with the opportunity to develop their understanding of influences on human growth, development, behavior, and well-being.
  • An understanding of the social, physical, emotional, and cultural needs of people who use care and support services and recognize that everyone has a unique blend of abilities and needs.
  • An insight into how service provision in Wales supports the development and well-being of individuals to make informed decisions now and in later life.
  • Develop an awareness of career pathways available within the Health and Social Care and childcare sector.

Vision

The Health & Social curriculum provides students with active learning and the ability to personalize and investigate care issues and topics of their own choice. Learners can actively engage in the study of Health and Social Care to develop as effective and independent learners.
