T Level Health

WHY CHOOSE WALSALL STUDIO SCHOOL?

In health and social care, we aim to give students the tools, knowledge, practical skills, empathy and to increase confidence in their abilities in order to shape them into well rounded professionals in the world of health.

Health aims to help students develop a sense of industries under the health umbrella, to be able to apply the theory they gained to real life work experience settings and the ability to evaluate the information they have been given. We hope that if this is achieved this will give students the confidence to make good decisions not only in a health and social care setting but in life itself.
