Today, Sixth Form Health and Social Care students were able to meet with a member of our English department; Miss Wright, who before teaching was a Social Worker.
Miss Wright discussed the university application process and what her degree was like when studying to become a social worker. She gave an insight into what the job was like and also what skills she has been able to transfer from social work to teaching.
Miss Wright is currently studying for her Masters degree whilst teaching, so she was also able to advise students of this process too.
Our Sixth Formers asked some insightful questions and will be apply to their new knowledge to our forthcoming coursework unit based on meeting individual care needs.
