Year 12 Health & Social Care students have enjoyed a number of practical Discovery Workshops to help them make an informed career choice.

Our Health & Social Care Department has been working wih the University of Teesside to offer "Discovery Workshops' at King James.

Current Year 12 students had expressed a particular interest in Midwifery, Nursing, Social Work, Operating Theatre Care, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy careers in lessons. As a result, the department organised a visit from the Teesside specialist team who delivered a number of workshops to discuss routes into the healthcare sector and the study programmes they offer.

Not only did students learn about the various career opportunities, but they also discussed the key to success when completing a university application form.
