Long Term Plans
Year 9
Year 9 is a foundation introductory year whereby Child Development is studied as part of a suite of other subjects (Health, Development and Nutrition). Students will be introduced to child development starting with conception, birth and how to care for the developing child. We will also focus on the different areas of development and how we can support the child by providing age and stage appropriate activities. Additionally we investigate different places where children can go to be cared for and educated and the typical curriculum that they will follow.
