A Level Options at Down High School
At Down High School we offer two subjects at A-Level:
AS & A2 Applied Health and Social Care (OCR)
and
AS & A2 Home Economics (CCEA)
A-Level Home Economics
The central focus of home economics education is the health and well being of people in their everyday living. This involves enabling students to address increasingly complex challenges related to human needs and the management of resources to meet these needs.
The AS course enables students to broaden their post-16 education and provides a progression to the full A Level GCE. The A Level course provides a good foundation for higher education courses in home economics and related subjects and for a range of interesting careers. Through a range of practical and theoretical contexts both the AS and A2 courses gives students the opportunities to apply the knowledge and understanding gained. Assessment of both AS units and one of the A2 units will be through written examination papers, the remaining A2 unit will be a coursework assignment.
Applied A Level Health and Social Care
The AS and Advanced GCE in Health and Social Care is an ideal qualification for those students who want a broad background in Health and Social Care, which will allow them to progress to further or higher education, training or employment.
