Health and Social Care

Why do we study Health and Social Care?

Health and Social Care equips our students to discover the impact of positive and negative human development and how to critically analyse how these factors affect our day to day lives. The study of Health and Social Care enables students to explore academically and practically areas that influence how we develop throughout life stages and in turn raise expectations of how we can live successful and healthy lives now and in our future.

Within the Health and Social Care department at Mangotsfield I believe that there has never been a more relevant time to study this subject. The intention is to fully support and prepare students who want to work with, care for and help other people in their future careers.

The KS4 Course provides students with the background knowledge and skills needed by someone considering working with people in a health care provision capacity. The course has a history of enabling students to achieve the qualifications they need to build successful careers in the Health and Social Care sector such as; Teaching, Social work, Nursing and Midwifery and Paramedic science.
