<b>All A2 teaching for current year 12 students will resume on 9th June 2014</b>. Please make sure you come to classes (following the year 12 timetable) fully equipped to begin your new units. GCSE pupils in year 10 will begin work on their final examination unit, which they will continue to study in year 11.<br />
<br />
<b>From September 2014 all students opting for Health and Social Care at sixth form level</b> will follow either the <b>Single GCE course</b> (equivalent to 1 A Level) or the <b>Double GCE course </b>(equivalent to 2 A Levels). These courses are open to all students and entry does <b>not </b>require a GCSE in this subject. <br />
<br />
Note that in <b>September 2014</b> the year 9 option course in Health and Safety will <b>no longer be available </b>and <b>nor will </b>the BTEC Level 2 Health and Social Care Course, which has, this year, been available at sixth form level. <br />

Swansea University is the largest provider of Health Care Education in Wales and on those grounds, should be seen if you are remotely interested in this area. <span style="background-color: white;">The University has drawn together all health-related disciplines (including Psychology, Health and Social Care and Social Policy) in a</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"> <b>Department of Health and Human Sciences </b>-</span><br />
1)The Complete University Guide for 2011 assessed this Department's <b>Social Work</b> degree programme as being the best in Wales and one of the top ten in the UK.<br />
2) Its<b> Psychology Department</b> was the first in Wales to be given an 'Excellent' rating for the quality of its teaching.<br />
3) It is the first university in Wales to appoint a <b>Professor of Midwifery,</b> Professor Billie Hunter.<br />
4)It has been ranked the best in Wales in a research assessment exercise for <b>Social Work and Social Policy.</b><br />
5)<span style="background-color: white;"> The university is strongly committed to responding rapidly to changes in health care, social care and medical practice.</span><br />
