HOSPITALITY & CATERING CURRICULUM INTENT
The study of Hospitality & Catering allows students to become self-motivated and confident learners, who can follow directions to work independently and/or part of a team. We aim to ensure that learners develop a deep knowledge and understanding of the Hospitality and Catering industry including provision, health and safety and food safety. Through a combination of practical and theory lessons, students will develop the skills the industry demands so they can access further learning. We encourage students to be active creators of their own learning, empowering them to think outside the box to overcome obstacles, whilst working towards a design brief. Also, developing transferable skills of time management, organisation, planning and communication which is essential in the work place.

This is an exciting course in focussing upon the real-life workings of the Hospitality and Catering industry, front house and back house. This course will help you build confidence in research, cooking skills, understanding the importance of healthy eating, how ingredients work and developing an understanding the job roles. You will be responding to a brief each time you cook to become more independent and work to time constraints.
