Key Stage 4 Hospitality and Catering Level 1/2

This is a new course that will allow pupils to develop and extend their hospitality and catering skills within a vocational context ie everything will be directly linked to working within the catering industry eg Chef, Waitress, Restaurant Manager, Housekeeper and Reception.

Another great bonus of this course is the strong emphasis on gaining the required knowledge via practical work.

The skills are acquired through a range of different activities

  • at School preparing for in-house functions eg Presentation Evening, Open Evenings, charity cake sales etc
  • there will be opportunities for work experience placements in Year 10
  • in weekly practical sessions students will be expected to produce dishes to develop competent practical skills and ensure a sound knowledge of dishes for all occasions
