GCSE Health and Social Care, and Childcare
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
This GCSE asks for little named digital work in its content, but both NEA units, worth 60% of the qualification, must be submitted digitally and Unit 3 includes an investigation. Learners also interpret health statistics and analyse health promotion campaigns for the Unit 1 examination. The biggest thing KS3 can build is confident, well-structured word-processed writing backed by reliable, referenced online research.
