Hospitality and Catering Intent:

 

According to the British Hospitality Association, hospitality and catering is the fourth largest industry and accounts for 10% of the workforce in the UK. Since 2010, over 25% of all new jobs have been within the hospitality and catering sector with the majority of new roles falling within the 18-24 age group according to a report by People 1st. The course supports pupils who want to learn about the vocational sector and the potential it can offer them for their careers or further study. Pupils will learn about and understand the catering sector and industry. During their practical work they will develop and extend their practical skills and be encouraged to apply principles of food science, nutrition and healthy eating. Our curriculum will enable them to have a more in depth understanding and application of sources, sustainability and environmental issues related to food production and the industry. They will develop vital skills that enable them to feed themselves and others affordably and nutritiously, now and in later life.
