Health and Social Care
Curriculum Intent
Within the vocational faculty here at Broadoak we offer a variety of vocational qualifications that students can pursue from key stage 4. One of these courses is the Cambridge National in Health and Social Care. In this qualification pupils will understand how to care for others, research how an individual grows and develops from infancy all the way through to later adulthood and why giving back to society is so important.
KS4 Curriculum
Our KS4 students all work towards the OCR Level 1 and Level 2 Cambridge National in health and social care which is equivalent to a full GCSE.
Students will be assessed throughout KS4 for knowledge, understanding and skills and progress will be assessed in Term 6 of Year 10 and Term 2 and Term 4 of Year 11.
