Health and Social Care

Curriculum Intent Statement

The Robert Barclay Academy Health and Social Care Department aims to create students who question the behaviour of themselves and others around them to enable them to build skills to be able to deal with these individuals when encountering them in the care sector. The Health and Social Care curriculum is ambitious and designed to give all students, particularly disadvantaged students and including students with SEND, the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life, by engaging students with key behaviours they see and experience in their lives. Students study Human Lifespan and Development & Meeting Individual Care & Support Needs in the first year, followed by Working in Health and Social Care and Psychological Perspectives in the second year.

There is a significant amount of cultural capital available to the students as this is a vocational course and therefore directly work related. Additional skills include report writing, analysing case studies and learning about the care of different individuals.

Learning Journey Key Stage 5

Below you will find an overview of the Health and Social Care Learning Journey that RBA students will experience during key stage 5.
