Welcome To GCSE Leisure and Tourism

Leisure and Tourism is a part of everyone’s life. It is a vocational subject, that brings real life situations into classroom. There is some theory, but the majority of this will be related to student’s own experiences. They will gain a greater understanding of this vast growth market.

Students will be positively encouraged to build portfolios at their own pace. The GCSE allows for all abilities, students will be encouraged to develop work at a reasonable pace, with AA* students showing high level organizational, analysis and evaluation skills.

Students will use outings, work experience, the internet, photographic evidence, brochures, tickets etc, to help build their portfolios.

The course consists of three equally weighted parts:

Leisure & Tourism,
(the theory bit! - exam end of year ten)
 

Marketing
(Project on Alton Towers and Drayton Manor)
 

Customer Service
Project and role play based on work experiences)

 

 

If you like discussion, practical investigation, creating your own projects and can be self motivated then this could be the course for you.

You will look at the way you spend your leisure time, in a whole new way …When you know the facts!!!
