At Rhyddings, Health & Social Care is part of the options curriculum for students in Years 9, 10 &11.
We believe that by introducing and teaching learners about aspects of personal development from birth to the end of life, and relevant information about the Health, Social care and early Years sectors we are providing students with skills, knowledge and understanding in contexts that are directly relevant to employment situations. This further enhances their choices for further progress at college in one of the given areas and so increases their employability within the health, social care and early year’s sector.
Students in Year 11 are on the OCR GCSE, where coursework represents 60% of their overall grade. Their exam that is undertaken at the end of year 11 is worth 40%. There are lots of revision materials and past exam papers on our website under the revision section.

We would encourage all students to spend time at home reviewing their learning and trying to work through any misunderstandings or areas of difficulty, before then discussing them in school with their teacher.
